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.
