EM: HOW AND WHEN DID YOUR JOURNEY BEGIN?
Chantle White (CW): I have always been interested in design as far back as my early teens. My mother had a tailoring shop back in Nigeria. Our head tailor had no choice but to create whatever design I described to him and his team (lol) Growing up, I wasn’t exposed or aware of any designers till I relocated to the UK, so I have never been influenced by any one in particular. But I am intrigued with Japanese culture and Korean fashion.
EM: WHAT’S YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE?
