Violet is a Fashion Designer and the next Courteville Prenuer on our radar.
I Lived On A Mango Tree
MY NAME IS Violet Osadiaye and I am from a family of 4.
MY PARENTS ARE…. Mr Charles Osadiaye and Mrs Esther Osadiaye.
MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY…. has to be growing up with my grandma. She was a Disciplinarian and a very Determined person
CRAZIEST THING I HAVE DONE? I moved up into a mango tree with some of my belongings because I was upset. I told people that’s where I would be living. I didn’t even spend 24 hours on the tree before my mum came calling.
BIGGEST REGRET IN LIFE? None
AS A CHILD I wanted to be a Medical Doctor.
I FOUND MYSELF IN THE FASHION BUSINESS by fiddling with my grandmother’s sewing machine.
MY GREATEST SUPPORT COMES from GOD. I was discouraged in the pursuit of my passion along the line but GOD has been there all the way.
WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR I see a focused woman and a soon to be CEO
I WILL DESCRIBE VIOLET as diligent, focused, determined, hardworking and always contented with what I have.
IF I COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT MYSELF…. Nothing. GOD created me just the way he wanted me to be.
WHAT IS ABOUT YOU, YOU THINK WE DON’T KNOW? I love painting.
FASHION DESIGN TO ME is a passion but also a bit of income is made from it.
AN ADVICE FROM ME TO THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE ASPIRING TO VENTURE into THE FASHION DESIGN BUSINESS is to first have the passion,even when you don’t get things right your passion for it will continually push you to keep striving.
THE LAST TIME I CRIED? I can’t remember the last time I cried
I AM NOT AFRAID OF anything
LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME to be grateful for whatever I have at any particular point in time and to also learn how to live with everybody.
I DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS A WEAKNESS, but I think I am a bit of a workaholic
WHAT’S THAT THING YOU USED TO DO BUT NO LONGER DO? Nothing that I can think of at the moment.
IN FIVE YEARS TIME, I see Vlet Fashion House becoming a household name especially in the area of wears for kids.
