Today, we’d like to introduce you to Josephine Jo. Josephine was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Olasunkanmi Ogunade.
Hi Josephine , we’re so thrilled to have you sharing your story with us today. Maybe we can kick things off by having you introduce yourself to our readers? We’d love to have you go into your story and how you got to where you are today.
I started modeling at the age of 20, I met Mrs Joan Okorodudu who was my manager and the founder of Nigeria’s Next Super Model. I participated in the competition (Top 10). I did Mercedes Benz Fashion Week SA, Lagos Fashion Week, GTBank Fashion Weekend, Milan Fashion Week and so on.
I have worked with couple of designers such as Julien Macdonald, Laquan Smith, David Tlale, Taibo Bacar, Lanre da Silva, Tuen Basi, Weizdhurmfranklyn, Deola Sagoe, clan, and so on.
Please talk to us about your creative work and career. What should we know?
I love to tell stories with pictures. It’s an expression of everything for me, likewise my style, that’s why my style is versatile. I look forward to collaborate with different brands, photographers, creative stylists, Art designers and so on. You can send me a DM on Instagram @_kweenofkweens
So, as we mentioned to our audience earlier, you were introduced to us by Olasunkanmi Ogunade and we really admire them and what they’ve built. For folks who might not be as familiar, can you tell them a bit about your experience with Olasunkanmi.
I met Olasunkanmi a year ago and it’s been phenomenal. He’s very creative and he knows how to bring ideas into reality. I love Artistic and timeless photography, we are able to come together and did some fantastic job. I can just have an idea, for instance, wear a torn fabric in different colors with an edgy makeup, barefoot in a museum, I will share this idea with Olasunkanmi and he will infuse his idea too then boom! The outcome is always mind blowing. I love the tenderness of his work, pattern because I don’t like when pictures are overly touched. In three words to describe his work, style and creativity; I should say Abstract, Soft and timeless.
