Typical Naija bad bele if you ask me. Girls we should be celebrating his success.<br/><br/>I did a summer internship with him last year. I called him out of the blue and he was nice enough to take me on. I learnt a lot about design, quality and great workmanship. <br/><br/>I am also an architect so if an ex-lawyer can impress me on design and cut he must be pretty good. In the end the most enduring fashions are those that are simple and classic and his dresses flatter all women regardless of shape or size and a big plus his clothes are not vulgar or tacky. <br/><br/>Being recognised by Vogue and having your collection featured with other designers like Armani et al on style.com is no small feat!<br/><br/>Great work Duro!!! Duro Olowu is great!
