The photos in the magazine show her in two printed swimsuits following the cover line “Idia Aisien just brought sexy back”. With her flowing blonde locks and glowing skin, we are inclined to agree.

In the interview following the cover feature, she speaks to Oluwaseun Ashiru, on her unique style, love, take on life.

Read excerpts below:

On her go-to designers

For foreign designers, I love my British designers. I love Charlotte Zimbio. She is the one that made this gold trench coat, I love it because it’s customized and I like things that aren’t everywhere and readily available for everyone. I also really love Atsuko Kudo because I am a huge fan of latex leather. And for Nigerian designers, my go-to designers are Maki Oh, Lisa Folawiyo, Lanre Da-Silva Ajayi because they pay a lot of attention to detail. I’m also becoming a huge fan of swimwear designers like Bfyne and Andrea Iyamah.

On what ‘Love’ means to her

Ok… So it’s Valentine season and love is finally having that person that you can go out and buy all the amazing gifts for. I am a girl but I do buy my special someone gifts and I am not afraid to look like I am a hopeless romantic because I am. So this is the season where I don’t look crazy doing it.

Her advice for newcomers trying to break into the entertainment industry

The advice I give to anybody that is trying to break into fashion or media industry is that there is room for everybody. The market is not yet saturated and there’s still space at the table to bring in your own ideas, to carve your own niche. I mean, come on the competition is exciting, it’s only going to get better, it’s only going to improve and grow our industries so come on. See you at the top.
