LAGOS, Nov 16 (Reuters) – As sustainable vogue fanatic Uche Aladimma types by means of discarded denim garments in an open market in Lagos, Nigeria, a light sky-blue jacket catches his eye; now he has to determine whether or not to show it into an apron, a tote bag or one thing else.
Aladimma, 28, says he launched the eco-friendly Azach model in February to struggle towards quick vogue in Africa’s most populous nation through the use of second-hand garments to provide sturdy street-wear in style with younger adults.
“All of the supplies that we work with are the supplies that we are able to use for a very long time… They’re garments that you would be able to move all the way down to individuals… upcycle them once more,” he stated.
An engineering graduate who discovered his calling in eco-fashion, Aladimma desires to do extra to assist the atmosphere. He hopes to make furnishings utilizing denim in the future.
