Following a post-AMVCA drama, Nigerian designer, Veekee James-Atere has given some advice to upcoming fashion designers in the industry.

 

Veekee took to her Instagram page, in a lengthy post, to give some advice on building brands and making your business a household name.

 

 

 

“Once anyone comes to you with the ‘do you want money or tag’ phrase, you better run”, she started. “Be wise, don’t let money come first before the important things. Sacrifice in business is a must. Be ready to collaborate sometimes with only celebs that respect you”.

 

 

“Don’t be desperate to be known through a person. You must know that only God is the lifter of men! If you want to be a fashion designer, go and research the true meaning of being a designer. You are an artist, create!”, she added.

 

 

The post from Veekee James comes after a post-AMVCA controversy between Ghanaian media personality, Nana Akua Addo, Ghanaian designer, Yoli Koomson, and Nigerian designer, Ezinne Olivia.
