What you are looking at right here is one of my idols. This is Ozwald Boateng, A bespoke tailor, designer and a stylist. Ozwald has achieved many things in life but he had a hard time getting there. I guess sometimes going through difficult times makes you more determined and stronger hence why Ozwald Boateng is known for his passion for fashion to define the ultimate 'man' and his clean cut tailored suits.
Ozwald Boateng collection at London Fashion Week 2012. Do you see what I mean about clean cut. I cannot stress this enough! These amazing looks just had me in awe. I am never disappointed, the fitted trousers, the fitted clean cuts on every model's shoulder blade. The colours which are chosen for ever season are always on trend also. This is a designer who knows what this is all about to dress as a sophisticated man, a real gentleman. My favourite look is the third pic to the far right. The black and white very on trend this season. Just look at the fitting, whenever I see pictures like this from a show the smile on my face is just the cheesiest. Amazing! End of.
Ozwald Boateng has a film coming out about him being filmed for 12 years by Varon Bonicos. The UK release is on the 9th of March. I was one of the lucky individuals to get to view this film before the release date at a private screening.
This film was just saw real first and foremost. This film is not only about Boateng's great success throughout the 12 years but it also showed his private life also. I found this very intimate and I got to see Boateng on a more personal level the trials and tribulations he went through to get where he is now. You see it is not all about the glitz and the glam in this film you see how he went through life and how he overcame every single obstacle. At different sections of this film I literally felt like this was all going to be a big failure when something disastrous happened but he always managed some how to come back on top. The determination, the faith, the drive he had was definitely his medicine.
I got to ask Boateng a question "what was your motivation?, did you have any self doubt?" Boateng- "I just had faith, you need to have faith in whatever you do and just believe, Of course I had a lot of self doubt but I had faith".
That was all I needed to hear, I am grateful I had that opportunity to meet with Ozwald Boateng, he has now given me the drive to carry on in my dreams. I left that screening feeling uplifted, empowered, motivated. I am even more driven.
Hopefully one day I get to style for Ozwald or use some of his suits for shoots.
He is truly an amazing individual. It is a definite must see, I have given you all the link the preview for this film 'A Man's Story'- Every man has a story. But this man is truly blessed click here to view.
