BLOG BUZZ: MEET ENI AND THE CLOSET!

@EniOfTheCloset, CEO, The Closet

Bio

My name is Enniboku Ojeaga but most people call me Eni and i was born on March 14^th

How will you define your personality?

#Pisces 'Compassionate, Outspoken, Mystical and highly intuitive.

Tell us about your company and how it started.

The Closet is a one stop shop for random tshirts, custom made tshirts,classic tshirts, tank tops, dresses, accessories, sandals and fragrance kits. The Closet came about from the need to have every item you see in your home closet available for purchase at a reasonable price. The Closet was established in Abuja September 2009 but officially opened January 16th 2010.

Tell us the inspiration behind what you do.

I am inspired by 'the guy next door'

Tell us about the struggles/hustles regular youngsters in naija go through just to be heard.

In respect to my business, we have to struggle with the fact that there are already established Tshirt and general clothing businesses with more experience and wider customer base. Also, most people now have the option of travelling abroad to buy clothing items and some people compare these items and may want to under price. In the long run though, the quality of your items will lead customers to you and maintain loyalty.

Where do u see yourself in say five or ten years?

In 5 years time or less, I will like to own my printing and clothing factory so that I do not have to go abroad to brand my T-shirts and items. At the moment, I have to rely on western countries so as not to compromise standards.

Is there any quote that describes life to you?

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter, don’t mind"

Who is your Favorite Icon in your field?

My favorite icon in my field at the moment is Deola Sagoe because she depicts earthly feminism in tasteful designs.

what's your philosophy to life?

"Life is a great big canvas and we should throw all the paint on it while we still can"

NEWS FLASH!

BLOG BUZZ: CONVERSE BY JOHN VARVATOS - ALL STAR SNAKESKIN

Designer John Varvatos here applied the Star Player EV from CONVERSE by John Varvatos, a low-cut snakeskin sneaker. He conjured up images of a buzz-cut Hoosier moving to New York’s Lower East Side and pawning everything he owns for a secondhand Fender Stratocaster and Marshall amp. The circular All Star patch has never seemed so gloriously tarnished.  Get your Iggy Pop on and pick up your All Star Snakeskin now directly through CONVERSE.

BLOG BUZZ: LeBRON JAMES - NIKE SIGNATURE PRODUCTS - IILUSTRATED

 There’s the traditional way of previewing the Nike Sportswear LeBron James Holiday 2011 apparel and footwear collection. And while sharply photographed images might be enough to get fans excited about their prospective purchases, Nike is presenting the collection’s key items in illustrated form. It’s either a callback to a time when catalogs were filled with pen and ink illustrations of a merchant’s dry goods, or a subtle suggestion that LeBron’s status as a world-class athlete has reached near superheroic levels befitting comic book lore. In any event, the artistic renderings crisply depict several pieces that any King James fan would be happy to wear. Starting feet first, the Air Max Conquer is a versatile winter boot, featuring a high cut silhouette with waterproof overlays. The AF1 Premium Low is also winterized, with a new outsole built with duck boot-like traction. On the apparel front, the Destroyer jacket, made from 100% recycled wool, is a standout, featuring personal touches like the embroidered “Vivat Rex” (Long Live the King) appearing at the interior of the jacket. A Bomber Jacket, N98 Jacket, AW77 Hoodie and 1823 Rugby round out the assortment. Click through for more looks.
