Iconic Fashion Designer of self-named brand covers the November “Fashion Issue” of TW (Today’s Woman) magazine.

We here at OnoBello.com are particularly fond of the designer as we have not only worked closely with her but also regard her as family.

In an exclusive interview with the magazine, she talks extensively on how she started with her 1940’s couture signature designs that have now evolved into a much more modern and cutting-edge brand and a full-blown fashion house. She also opens up on upcoming projects, exploring new markets with a diffusion and ready to wear line, the “internet” effect, mentoring young designers and a lot more…. We can’t wait to read the full story and see all the gorgeous photos from the shoot.

Elsewhere in the magazine, there are features on Grammy Award–winning Beninoise singer Angelique Kidjo.
