Ugo Mozie on Redefining “Made in Africa” Luxury

Meet Chief Ugo Mozie: designer, creative entrepreneur and storyteller.

 

For over a decade, his fearless style has shaped the world’s biggest stages, dressing icons, collaborating with legendary houses: from Vivienne Westwood, Valentino, Dolce and Gabbana, Balmain, and recently styling the incomparable Diana Ross for the Met Gala.

 

On our recent trip to Lagos during its vibrant art/culture season (Lagos Fashion Week, ART X, Lagos Photo Festival, etc.), Globetrotter Lab’s Kennedy Ashinze caught up with Ugo for a chat.

 

With his highly anticipated brand, Eleven Sixteen, Ugo is proving that world-class couture, true luxury, and the future of fashion aren’t imported to Africa; they’re born here.

 

This is the new Made in Africa.

And it’s just getting started.

Blackup Jakarta | A Conversation on the State of Black Affairs

⁣On Saturday, June 27th, Globetrotter Lab hosted a virtual conversation on the global state of black affairs and assembled some brilliant minds to share their perspectives on current happenings regarding the Black Lives Matter protests, its history, cultural context, and why it’s important for Asians, especially Indonesians, to engage.⁣⁣⁣⠀

Despite Jakarta’s proximity to the center of the Black Lives Matter movement that continues to reverberate around the world, Indonesians also resonate with the issue of colorism. Cities across the world continue to stand together in solidarity against global systematic racism.
