Nigerian fashion designer Victoria James, popularly known as Veekee James, has explained why she does not see herself abandoning fashion design, despite the growing opportunities available to her as a content creator and public figure.
Veekee James said fashion remains deeply personal to her and described the creative business as something she has nurtured over the years. According to the designer, her passion for creating clothes goes beyond commercial success.
“Fashion is my baby,” she said, explaining her enduring attachment to the profession.
The designer’s comments come amid increasing visibility for Nigerian fashion entrepreneurs, many of whom have expanded their careers into content creation, influencing, beauty, entertainment and other areas of the creative economy.
While Veekee has developed a strong social-media presence, she stressed that her digital activities do not mean she intends to abandon the foundation of her career.
Her position highlights the difference between diversifying a personal brand and completely leaving behind the profession that established it. For Veekee, fashion remains central to her identity and long-term plans.
