1. TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF
My name is Modupe Omonze, I am from Lagos Nigeria.
I am a fashion designer who creates pieces to tell
stories about my love for arts and culture. I have been
fortunate to have lived in different parts of the world,
and studied other people’s culture, this has influenced
my designs greatly.
I studied fashion design extensively in Trinidad and
Tobago, where my graduation pieces were featured
in the Trinidad Guardian newspapers. This was the
beginning of my journey in the fashion industry.
2. HOW DID RUNWAY DUBAI COME ABOUT?
Runway Dubai started soon after I moved to Dubai.
I noticed that there was not a single platform in the
fashion industry that supported emerging talent and
the creative industry in general. I knew it was my
responsibility to bridge the gap, so I took a course in
Event management in the U.K to acquire knowledge
on a professional level.
