Hello everyone, welcome to Episode 8 of the Africa Emerging Podcast.

We talked about reason why he decided to choose this niche area in the Fashion industry making bespoke, luxury made to measure Kosibah Couture.
We talked about the power of collaboration with the right network.
In his 28 years of been in business one key lesson Yemi shared is the need to ‘Stay in your own lane’ don’t feel obliged to keep up with the 'jones'.
He gave snippets into some celebrities he has dressed in the past, though for Yemi, his focus is making each client feel special and memorable whether a celebrity or not.
