By Kemi Mobuse - Wednesday, March 30, 2016


In my line of work, i have been interviewing various entrepreneurs, whose focus is solely the production of just one product, it is therefore refreshing to come across an entrepreneur who can manufacture more than one products, or to put it more succinctly, can clothe you from crown to sole!
She even create costumes for special occasions, her brand is basically your go to bus stop!

We were fortunate to meet with Mrs Odunsi, the CEO of Devs Fashion, and she had a chit chat with KMB, excerpts below:
