So one of these days, Felix, my assistant film director and I went to church and truth be told, he looked real dope(save for his black as coal complexion). The thing about me and fashion is, I am the last person you want to meet especially when you have on you are a flop. Doesn't matter what designers you got, if they are a flop, I tell you straight to the eye. Not that I done on the best stuff, because, when you spend your entire life behind the camera, what business do you have with attires save for your black vest, nice shorts and some sandals(if need be, otherwise you will always be on a dolly or crane).
Felix had this nice looking blue coat that seemed to fit every inch of his bony body(ooops! Sorry if you are reading this) like whoever made it was masking it on his skeleton. It had these two white and red stripes, not painted but real cloth, that gave it both an expensive and swaggish look. But the thing that completed this look was nothing else than the classy, glossy, flossy(add all nice words that are am embodiment of great fashion, as long as they end with "sy").
So for once one had me craving for great fashion and I sought to know who the tailor of that coat was, and that's when I met Morgan, Felix's brother(another bony one. Haha).
Morgan is not your ordinary tailor. He is a god in what he does. Like any other person claiming to be good, I put him to test and what he delivered was way way more than what he said he would make. I mean, he didn't just deliver, he amazed me. The African print he made for me was so good that it has become my most favorite cloth. Like, I literally have to remind Felix, and a bunch of other people I call friends, that I have other shirts, because it has become my Sunday best that I do not plan to abstain from putting on. So I sought to know this guy's story and this is what he told me.
