My Exclusive Interview With Prince Uzoegwu! Says I’m Not Ready For Marriage Now, But I Plan To Have Kids Soon

SO I had this exclusive chat with Nigeria’s most talked about fashion stylist, Prince Uzoegwu and he spoke on a lot of issues. He talked about his relationship with Denrele Edun, his clients, why he dresses the way he does and of course, what you have all been waiting to hear; his LOVE life. Lol. Enjoy the interview after the cut.

A lot of blogs started writing about you when you started appearing on red carpets with Denrele because of the way you dress. What inspires your outfit?

Basically I have always been a metro sexuality guy. I love been Gothic and edgy. I hate pretty and the normal norms of dressing because I find it boring and over used. The way I dress is my own means of accepting who I am. It is my way of expressing myself. Besides seeing Alexander Mcqueen’s collection when I was in high school tickled my interest in fashion and this brought about my obsession with everything to do with the way I dress.

I love skinny jeans, it suits my frame.  It is about dressing for your shape and letting your personality come through. I like colour blocking, and tees that make a statement. I wear contact lenses sometimes to stand out. I don’t like looking like everyone else.

But don’t you think that is the more reason a lot of people refer to you as being gay?

Well I feel the way I dress is an expression of how I feel and how I wanna look.  I don't follow style or norms because I find it boring. I believe in fashion freedom which I am expressing. If any sees it as been gay good luck to them. Ignorance is really a disease. I guess that is why a lot of them can’t differentiate from fashion freedom and ones sexuality.

What is your relationship with Denrele?

Denrele is a friend and someone I see as a mentor.

Can you mention some great clients you have worked with?

Goldie, Tiwa Savage, South African artist, Mshoza,  Eda Rose, Cythnia Morgan, Oge Okoye, Layole Oyatogun, Joan Okorodudu, Dwight of the real housewives of Atlanta, Caroline Ekanem Danjuma, Monalisa Chinda, Joy Tango, the list is endless.

Why did you choose to become a Fashion Stylist?

Seeing Alexander Mcqueen collection when I was younger tickled my interest in fashion and this brought about my obsession with everything to do with the industry. Great designers who have created works of art are admirable.
