Nikki Khiran - On Elegance, Fashion And Nigeria's Wasted Generation

INTERVIEW The Covid-19

INTERVIEW The Covid-19 Pandemic crippled the whole world, so many empires were toppled large and small. The first businesses to take the hit were luxury goods, fashion, travel, entertainment, restaurants, etc. It made one introspective with plenty of time to start thinking of a more creative way to do business. How should black people now change the narrative, and can they? Racial discrimination in the U.S. has always been overt, BLM and social media have just brought it to the forefront, and this present administration has made it more obvious. Social media and people speaking up has highlighted the cause, so hopefully, there will be a gradual change, over time we can change the narrative by continuing to better ourselves and breaking the mould of being thought of as fraudsters, drug dealers and alcoholics. What is your opinion on Meghan Markle? Are you a fan? And do you think being black and the slur of racism is the issue that made her, and Harry quit the Royal family? From one strong woman to another, what advice would you give her, if she were a pal? It was historical seeing a black woman marry into the Royal family. I had hoped that she would have been more patient and dealt with the press and her detractors in a more subtle manner. She should have known that it was not going to be a smooth ride and be ready for the obstacles she faced; at the end of the day, her detractors had their way. They proved she was not fit to be a member of the Royal family, which for me was sad as a black woman, we were hoping she would be around for a long time to 18 www.glamsquadmagazine.com

INTERVIEW come. Tell us about your quirky habits. How do you relax? What makes you happy? I’ve always been eclectic and very much my person; I’ve never allowed other people’s rules to define me. For someone in fashion, I have tried to stay as natural as possible and grounded, and don’t get caught up in presenting the perfect picture Celebrity life. I enjoy relaxing at home, reading motivational books: fashion related books, watching movies, chilling with friends, good music, dancing travelling and putting a smile on my clients’ faces, that makes my day. My mantra is ‘whatever your hands find do, do it with all your might’, and it’s never failed me. What is your philosophy of life? Never compete with anyone!!! God has a different path and journey for each of us, DO YOU, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF !!! What would you splurge on, and what has been your craziest splurge? I would rather travel to exotic locations, stay in friendly hotels, and have a great holiday than buy jewellery. I do not scrimp on my skincare and body products, perfume, and lingerie. I love a beautiful living space; my comfort is more important than designer shoes, bags, and jewellery. What would you not do without, fashion-wise, beauty and workwise? I would not do without my Kimono jackets, and I have so many versions. They are elegant and go with pants, a dress, or a skirt; it is EFFORTLESS ELEGANCE. Beauty wise: loose powder, lipstick, and mascara. Workwise, I cannot do without my beautiful silks, tulle and my ethnic fabrics; fabric inspires me!!! www.glamsquadmagazine.com 19
