WHAT IS OKIRIKA?

It’s simply Thrift

HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR IDEA OF STYLING WITH OKIRIKA

I have always loved thrifting due to the uniqueness of things I get to find and also the quality. Instead of buying mass production of fake designers, I rather buy thrift because you are likely to see the original design that are very cheap. I felt I should also let people know that they can also look good in these thrift clothes.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK OUT FOR WHEN PICKING OKIRIKA?

I look out for the best grade/quality and also my size so I don’t have to amend them

MEMORABLE MOMENT AS A STYLIST?

WHAT ARE YOUR CHALLENGES FOR OKIRIKA STYLING

I don’t think I have faced any challenges so far.

HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR SOCIETY AFFECTS YOUR INDUSTRY

I would say negatively because, most people don’t value thrift and they feel it’s for poor people. When you mention thrift they tend to look down on you.

DO YOU FEEL THERE’S A GOOD SUPPORT ATMOSPHERE BETWEEN STYLISTS

Yes
