Fashion Designer, Bashy Kuti, Hits Diamond Age
The name Bashy Kuti is synonymous with fashion and style. This is no exaggeration, as the Managing Director of BKK has been faithful to his first lovefashion design, for many years with several laudable awards to his credit.
Over the years, this respected fashion designer, who launched his outfit over two decades ago, has won the confidence of the elite who, in turn, have rewarded him with impressive patronage owing to his creativity. And on his part, he keeps blazing a trail and setting the pace for his competitors to follow.
Apart from being a fashion designer, he has also made a name for himself as a wardrobe consultant to many socialites as well as politicians. Little wonder his Ibadan office is always as busy as a beehive, almost like a Mecca of sorts to celebrities, top politicians and captains of industry.
The very creative mind has opened and expanded the branches of his business beyond the shores of Ibadan. He has spread his tentacles to Abuja, Port Harcourt and the UK, as part of a concerted strategy to satisfy the yearning of his farflung clientele.
Even as he loves to express the dynamism in African cultures through his experimental designs, his greatest impetus is innovation at all times.
Last Tuesday, the virtuoso hit the diamond age. While many expected him to roll out the drums to celebrate the milestone, the socialite shocked his friends as he opted for a simple birthday fête. However, that didn’t stop the avalanche of encomiums from his families, relatives, friends, loyalists as well as wellwishers.
