You’re likely to find a good number of fashion influencers at the turn of every social media street. And with the right support system, the comment sections of these influencers are laced with over-hyped praises. The likes and comments aren’t always a true representation of the quality of their personal style which borders genericism. A lot of them have one thing missing in the mix: an abundance of je ne sais quoi. Our Woman Crush Wednesday Jennifer Oseh or Lady Vhodka like her stylish alter ego is popularly called has been a style icon from her incipient days.

Vhodka, who is petite-framed, has found her comfort zone in the daring confines of a blonde TWA (Teeny-Weeny Afro) with an edgy style that is almost an antithesis of her frame. Her style has a bit of everything; however, she gravitates towards pants and pantsuits, only spotting a dress or a skirt if there’s an absolute need.

The game of style is quite personal, however, it takes a bit of trial and error to find and stick to your lane. Of course, the idea of an ‘influencer’ is to sway you towards their tent, but plagiarising (though one can’t copyright a stylish get-up), accords you a ‘wannabe halo’.

Vhodka is proof that personal style trumps fashion.
Still, a style that attracts covetous envy isn’t all she’s achieved. The ability to shape a business out of a hobby is a recent addition to her CV. Wildkulture as her brand is aptly called is a fashion label created to replicate her unique style aesthetic and make money by doing so. So far, her pieces have been seen on Chimamanda Adichie who spots only Made In Nigeria designs.
