UGO MOZIE - Upstart Prodigy
Ugo Mozie stands squarely at the crossroads of contemporary urban flash,
classical male aesthetic, smoldering machismo, and bold femininity. Clothes
don’t just make the man with Mozie’s style choices. They define the man. A
look at some of his clients is all the proof one needs: Diddy, Chris Brown,
and Justin Bieber to name a few. All living, breathing paradoxes much like
the clothing pairings they’ve sported for this photo shoot or that fashion
spread.
So, is Mozie the exhilarating breath of fresh air needed in the fashion landscape? Take alook at button down/jumper spreads with the Clooneys,
Douglases, or Cruises rendered by his veteran competition and it all reads
the same. Take a look at Mozie’s portfolio however and the men are windswept, boasting form-fitting meggings or floor length scarves, body conscious shirts that hug the chest and biceps, big lumberjack boots straight
out of the pages of a Davy Crockett adventure, and vests and jackets--all
generously bespeckled with color.
