“In the ’90s, my mom had a boutique, literally the only place in Ethiopia where you could buy Ralph Lauren and, like, Cavalli. I hear stories of my mom making her sisters in America send her luggages of clothes even after the boutique closed, just for herself.
Whenever someone asks me, when did you get into fashion, it really has been in me since I was born. My earliest photos of me are in top-to-bottom Tommy Hilfiger, like, golfing outfits, and Polo.”
