We Left Nigeria to Study Fashion in the UK — Was It Worth It [FOS S1E1]

🎙️ Welcome to the very first episode of *Fabric of Success*! I sit down with one of my closest friends, We Left Nigeria to Study Fashion in the UK — Was It Worth It. From our fashion school experience to whether studying fashion in the UK as Nigerian designers was truly worth it. We talk honestly about our expectations vs. reality, how the UK and Nigerian fashion industries compare, and whether we'd do it all again if given the chance.
