This is an interview by Nneka Nwokeocha about "Ugo Mozie".


I love his fashion sense!!! When i look at this pics it takes me back to the time when fashion was the 'SHIT' literally like Harlme when guys dress cool 
the way the see fashion then was amazing and i just love it so yea..
 First pic reminds me of Wesley Snipes <3
And guess what he is Nigerian and cute too

Creative Director, Artist, Image Consultant, Style Icon and Celebrity Stylist Extraordinaire – Ugo Mozie is no average Joe! Born in Nigeria and raised in Los Angeles (and Houston partly) , Ugo Mozie started his career in fashion after becoming aware of it in the 4th grade and falling in love with it at about the age of 11. At the age of 14 he landed a job with the help of Rap Mogul – Shawn Jay- z Carter at an Urban modeling tour in 2005 with designers such as as a model for Sean John and G-unit clothing companies. In the summer of 2009 he moved to New-York and the rest, they say, is history!

He describes his fashion journey as one which only he understood, stating how he never sees gender in fashion and believes that no item of clothing must be restricted to just male or female. (In an interview with stylelikeu.com, he displays a vintage blouse which he got from his mothers closet and describes how possible it would be for him to wear it fashionably).  In February of 2011, Ugo Mozie in collaboration his longtime best friend and business partner Quinn Aston launched a clothing line- Aston Mozie.
He is known for his works on Sex and the City 2Dateline NBC51st Grammy Awards and Tribeca film festival and outstanding contributions to WADGHUBAR and 360 magazines where he serves as fashion contributor, Fashion Editor and Fashion Editor-at-Large respectively.
I got to chat with with the uber talented Ugo Mozie:

Nneka Nwokeocha:  Who is Ugo Mozie?
Ugo Mozie:  Ugo Mozie is a fashion visionary. I was Born in Nigeria and raised in Los Angeles California. I consider myself a fashion visionary because I envision myself being in the forefront of the future of fashion and business. Through my styling and creative directing, I already predict and set the future of trends and styles, I plan to use that skill to do amazing things in the near future.

NN: What does your personal life on a daily basis entail? Do your life experiences play into the work field?
UM: At the moment, my personal life has basically synced into my work field. I consider it a blessing to be able to travel worldwide to discover new cultures and meet amazing people and have the pleasure of adding it to my job description.

NN: What style genre appeals to you most at this point?
UM: I am in love with 1960′s men’s tuxedo looks mixed with the colors and boldness of the 80s formal looks. Basically if James DeanFrank Sinatra, and Fela were to sync with Michael JacksonLionel Richie, and Prince – That would be my ideal style genre.

NN: Being a fan and practitioner of androgyny, do you think your style appeals to both genders, your clientele and the general public?
UM: I definitely believe my style appeals to both genders. Style is all about a level of self confidence and comfort. Although everyone may not be able to wear and pull off some of the looks I choose, I believe that everyone can appreciate it for what it is.

NN: At 14, you had already done your first shoot in Texas and modeled for Sean john and G-unit (via Jay-z). If you could go back to that age, would you have seen yourself as a future designer/stylist?
UM: Honestly, I definitely could not. I didn’t even see myself styling merely 2 years ago. I always knew that I was capable of maneuvering and advancing in any field i put my hands on but styling was not in consideration at that time.

NN:  How did you get the opportunity to work on Sex and the City 2, BET Awards, Dateline NBC, 51st Grammys, Tribeca Film festival?
UM: All those opportunities were basically sent from God directly. I didn’t have to seek them or go through any auditions or interview for them, they were all through recommendations, word of mouth, or friendships I accumulated through the years.

NN: How do you cope with shuttling through Ghubar, WAD and 360 magazines?
UM: Working closely with numerous magazines may seem difficult but I definitely find a way to balance them out. Like me, none of them are the same. This allows me to be in touch with the high fashion side, lifestyle and street side, and entertainment side of my career. Due to the fact that fact the 3 magazines are completely different, it allows me to balance them quite fairly and also stay sane.

NN: The Nous sommes necklaces have already been debuted, Have the sales been successful?
UMNous Sommes necklaces were actually created by my good friends Jeremy and Kizda in Paris. I am the brand Ambassador for the company and it has definitely been an extremely successful debut.

NN: Would you say LA, Houston and NY affect your style in anyway?
UM: Definitely, The laid back colorful side of LA, aligned with the western southern side of Houston, and the Fast Fashion driven side of New York definitely help shape my overall look on how I dress every day.

NN: Is Michael Jackson (still) your ideal fashion Inspiration?
UM: Always and Forever YES!

Be my man

Why cant we

Some products i use for my natural hair journey


This are some of the product i use regularly for my hair. I would recommend using brands that
are good for and would benefit your hair :)



i use this for my protein treatment
twice a month. our hair needs protein
you can also use an egg if u wish and use a shower cap to cover  minimum
time i go for is 45mins max is 3 hrs
depending on hw long i can last
do this on a week end den u have the time just put dis in and go about doin ur chores
by the tym ur done it would have saturated (if dat makes sense)

for ur natural hair journey u would need a lot of conditioners
for  co-washing , home made deep conditioning treat
conditioner is the deal because it helps keeps moisture in
so u can get cheap conditioner like vo5  in ur normal pound shop
so it kl....

Ok.. dis are the new trial products i got 2 weeks ago
one tin for sure the smell nice nd my hair does too hehe
well i got their  3 mins reconstruction deep conditioner which is good
the limited edition of their miracle conditioner
and their shampoo and leave in conditioner
(thumbs up)

so my jojoba oil and grape seed oil
i alternate them every night i use the as a moisture sealer
after i moisturise my hair

Peppermint and tree tea oil
i add peppermint in my sometimes home made deep conditioner
it has this very cool feeling to ur scalp it great u should try it out
and TTO i add in a well
And the both help fight against dandruff  

Argan oil
i use for my edges mostly for some
reason at the middle of my journey my edges fell our
so i use this a stimulant and just massage it in  

Castor oil
i use with the argan oil


my main line product i use is Organics
i use the Aloe shampoo for washing my hair
i have a shampoo wash one a week because if u wash with shampoo all the
tym u would strip ur hair of all its oil so once a week for me
and i conditioner wash twice a week
i use olive oil moisturising lotion foe well to moisturise
hehe  

this product Doo gro
i can absolutely vouch for it
when i started to use it oh ma lord
u need to see how my hair
was getting thick like seriously
i love it
the are 3 ranges
like there's the anti  dandruff line and anoda which i can not recall

 this is part of my new trail and so far im loving it
it keeps my hair moisturise and i keep saying smelling nice and fresh
 it contains jojoba  seed oil and i took out my weave days ago and dis LIC helped a lot so
Yea. :)



   
So this are some of the products i use and how i works for me nd my hair, my hair is tough like crazy so i always have to keep it moisturised this process i apply at night cuz i have the time to focus and massage my scalp and when im awake the next morning my hair still has it moisture in it.
TIP: Tie a silk scarf on hair wen about to sleep or use a silk pillow case if u use normal cotton pillow case it would dry off ur hair and ur hair will get split ends and trim ur hair regularly....(im due for a trim)



NATURAL

Natural hair is your natural state of hair you were born with it can be a lil bit tough to maintain if your not dedicated to the transition from permed to natural.it was easy for me to go true the transition cuz I had my in a mow-hawk style so when i got tired of it.




All this pic were in 2009
I acquired this hair cut when i went to Nigerian i went to the salon to get my*already short hair trimmed* but i do not know what happened the person trimmed it beyond.....*sigh* and i couldn't do my hair and i was coming back to Ireland the next day so i couldn't leave without anything done so after an hour of disappointment we decided on what to do and we came up with my cut...

this is how my hair is now after one year
now more time are going in into my edges
so im pleased

In 2010 i decided to go natural it has been a long n slow process baring the shedding and the lazy day to go tru ur washes and deep conditioning and all the ceremony. But to say i am happy wit the results i am getting with dedication a good result can be achieved.

In my next post i will give a list of some of the products i use.

Happy Days !!!
