“I am someone who is deeply rooted in my culture. I felt like the one time I was free to express myself and did it the right way was when I was doing it indigenously as an Igbo girl. Putting the element of culture in my identity is how I show originality.”
What influences Ugoccie’s fashion style?
Speaking on what influences her fashion style, she noted that it gives her a sense of identity. She also spoke on why Ankara is now becoming a global fashion clothing. In her words:
“Most times, I just love African prints. So, I have a lot of them. At times, I just want to be very casual. As long as it is fashionable and comfortable, I am going to be in it with so much pride. Ankara has been a major source of identity for Nigerians. It gives a sense of culture. That is why we now wear it with so much pride. It is the way we carry Ankara that attracts other people in other countries to it.”
I prefer braids to wigs – Ugoccie admits
Speaking on what she prefers between braids and wigs, she said:
“I prefer braids to wigs. I prefer being in my natural hair than wearing wigs. It doesn’t just work for me. It may be a one-off thing, then I take it off. I also have this feel of what if it falls off my head (laughs).
She also spoke on her favorite fashion accessory and her style icon.
“My favourite fashion accessory is a beautiful neck piece and an earring that matches with it. I don’t really know if I have a style icon but I love Yemi Alade. She inspires most of my African fits. Asides that, I am someone who just loves to look very beautiful and chic.”
