With school and many other
activities dominating the schedule, many adults today would almost readily
agree that running a business was the last thing on their mind as children.
But Boluwatife Balogun, first son
of Wizkid, Afro-pop star, is out to take the fashion industry by the grip as
the young entrepreneur revealed his intention to style some of the country’s
top celebrities at the tender age of 7.
In a recent interview with Goldmyne
TV, Boluwatife, the young CEO of Czar & Czarina, listed his dad among the
prominent artistes he would love to style some day.
“I would like to style Wizkid
definitely, Davido, Olamide and YCee. Those are my favourites in Nigeria. I
like those artistes because they sing for a living. They don’t put too much
stress in what they do,” the young entrepreneur said.
Although he started out with
designing custom and standard fits for kids, Shola Ogudugu, Boluwatife’s
mother, revealed that the brand now makes footwear and general cover ups for adults
as well.
Ogudugu, who had launched the
clothing line on his birthday in May 2018, when he turned 7, said “Czar &
Czarina was born out of the passion of making cloths for kids, something that
started out with Boluwatife. We started making outfits for him and then we
upgraded to making for other everybody else.”
“Boluwatife always used to come
up with some dope combinations. People always asked us where we got his cloths,
so, we decided we could make a venture out of it. He was the reason why Czar
& Czarina came about,” she added.
“While I’m the creative director
and do all the work and everything creative. He’s the general inspiration for
the awesomeness of the brand. He’s also like CEO of the company and decides the
outfits we make.”
The duo expressed excitement
about the pace at which the brand is growing, adding that they now design for
renowned Nigerian celebrities and many other Americans.
“Our brand its growing, people
patronize us from everywhere. We’ve made cloths for Bisola, Terry G, YCee, and
different people. Sometimes, it’s so amazing and we’re so happy about it,” they
said.
Ogudugu also disclosed that the
official launch of the adult line will take place at Maison Fahrenheit hotel in
Lagos on April 19, which turns out to be her birthday.
