INTERVIEW Enado Odigie Words by - Latasha Ngwube Enado Odigie is a budding actress in Nollywood. She has starred and featured in films like, From Lagos with Love, and the critically acclaimed, Joba. With competition in the Nigeria film industry getting fiercer every year, she constantly strives to do better and perfect her craft. Enado is also a style star in the making. In this chat with Glamsquad Magazine, she talks about her work and style. What’s the one thing you would change about your industry? Can we have some structure please? What’s your favourite role or character in your career so far? I have a few that I love for different reasons. Ify Pedro from the movie, From Lagos with Love, Ore in the movie Joba, and the character I’m going to play in the American drama series called Suits as Harvey Specter’s heart throb. (in my mind). A girl is allowed to dream How would you describe your personal style in a sentence or less? Evolving. If you could give your 18-year-old self one piece of style advice, what would it be? Trends will come and go. Great skin never goes out of style. Who are your favourite Nigerian/ African designers? How many of their pieces do you own? Deola Sagoe, House of Nwocha, Tubo, Mai Atafo, Zhena woman. I own a few HON and Zhena Woman pieces. If you could design your own fashion line, what would you call it? What would it look like? I’m still deciding between names but, at the topmost of that list is a name that carries the names of both my parents, Rose and Michael, in honour of both their memories. However, my line will feature contemporary styles for the African man and woman, even though we’re starting first with a female line. Our style will be fresh, colourful, bold, happy and chic. Our pieces will be designed to accentuate the body of the everyday African woman, to mask her flaws and highlight her curves. We want her to tell us who she is simply by walking into a room, with all the glory of her African beauty, and comfortable in her own Skin. Loud, Bold and Proud. Do you have any passion besides acting? Yes. Fashion, Beauty, Counselling. Helping others find themselves. How would you say your style has changed since you became an actor? In the last couple of years, as I have evolved as a person, and transitioned between careers and this has reflected in my style. Naturally, when you work in the corporate world, style can be a little restrictive and this might also reflect in your wardrobe. However, it’s quite different in the entertainment space where there’s an abundance of inspiration and the freedom to explore whichever way I want. I’m definitely a lot more daring and more adventurous. My style is more expressive and much more reflective of my personality. Image is so important in your industry. Would you say you’re big on fashion? How do you decide what to wear to important events or castings? 18 www.glamsquadmagazine.com
