On her Instagram post, @nhn_couture talks about what collaborating with your fellow locals can do – its advantages, and what it brings to the table in terms of successful results.
“THE POWER OF COLLABORATION.
LAST TIME I WAS ON RUNWAY DUBAI,
I GOT ALL OUR DESIGNS MADE BY A LEBANESE DESIGNER HERE IN DUBAI AND THAT COST ME LOADS OF DOLLARS.
EACH OUTFIT WAS MADE BETWEEN $1800 -$2000 SEWING ONLY WITHOUT FABRICS.
FABRICS WERE NHN.
AND I STILL WASN’T SATISFIED.
I FELT THE DESIGNER DIDN’T MEET MY EXPECTATIONS BUT I WAS GRATEFUL HE TRIED.
THIS YEAR I SAT DOWN WITH MY PA AND DISCUSSED WHAT WENT WRONG ON OUR FIRST EVER RUNWAY.
I MADE CALLS TO FEW OF MY BOSSES IN THE INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA AND ASKED QUESTIONS AND GOD BLESS EACH THAT RESPONDED AND GAVE ME TIPS.
SO WE DECIDED TO COLLABORATE THIS YEAR WITH A CREATIVE DESIGNER IN NIGERIA INSTEAD.
I PRAYED ABOUT IT AND JUST ONE EARLY MORNING AFTER MY MIDNIGHT PRAYERS,
I SENT A WHATSAPP MESSAGE TO KATHY @kathyanthony HOPING SHE WOULD SEE IT BY MORNING BUT OMG SHE RESPONDED IMMIEDIATELY AND ACCEPTED.
I SENT ALL THE FABRICS ACROSS AND ASKED HER TO MAKE JUST 6 BLOUSES AND OF COURSE OUR SHOW STOPPER PINK OUTFIT FOR @idahosalaurie .
OH MY DAYS I WAS WOWED WHEN SHE SENT IN PICTURES.
THANK YOU @kathyanthony FOR AGREEING TO DO THIS WITH ME.. GOD IN HEAVEN WILL REWARD YOU.”
