What was working with Genevieve on this like ?
Working with her was one of the best experiences I have ever had working in Nigeria.
We have known each for years, over 10 years of friendship and I literally put our friendship aside and so did she, when it comes to business Genevieve is focused and no games, knowing that about her person and how dedicated she was to the movie, and it was my first big movie to costume design, all I had in my head were her word, “Don’t let me down, I trust you to do a great job“.
My friendship with her was one thing, but she is my boss and I worked on set everyday with my team to deliver no matter what, she played her part by making sure everything I asked for to execute the job was provided, and that is every costume designers dream.
Did Genevieve’s personal style, influence your plan for her character?
To be really honest I will say her personal style did come in to play for her character Adaeze, Genevieve has a lot of similarities with her character as Adaeze , they are both have classy and quite reserved persona , and that reflects a lot in the way the costumes where chosen, they both have a minimalist approach to fashion.
They both have that natural beauty that never goes wrong with their strong focused, go-getter attitude . They both like similar colours too, in the movie you see Adaeze wear some pops of colour but not as much.
Genevieve on the other hand loves to wear a pop of rich colour and she has great taste, and a great eye for colour palettes. The comfort she loves to apply with her personal style is also a great guide I used for inspiration.
