“Living it Up with Liquorose”

Fashion Editorial by Designer Tasha

Fashion is loved when you are able to be free with your creativity and I have to say on this editorial with Liquorose, my team and I were living in bliss while creating fun & magical fashion. Liquorose is the complete package and such a beautiful spirit to work with… she makes things so easy! I had the honor of working with her, we had passionate talks and got to spend time with each other & just vibe while on set. We took our time and created some memorable fashion moments! Let me stop talking and let you all get to know Liquorose a little more. I hope that all of the readers enjoy the fun editorial we created. 

DESIGNER TASHA: 

Please introduce yourself to those that may not know you? 

LIQUOROSE: 

My name is Roseline Afije and many know me as Liquorose.  I’m  27 years old and from Edo State, Nigeria. I’m from a family of 6 and I’m obviously the last born of 4 children. 

DESIGNER TASHA:

Tell us about Liquorose as a child, what did you aspire to be? 

LIQUOROSE:

I grew up as child  with a  lot of dreams, desires and aspirations to do great things in life . My  childhood dream was to become a lawyer in order to advocate for people’s rights and any social injustice. 

DESIGNER TASHA: 

What’s your ultimate goal in your career? 

LIQUOROSE: 

I have always seen myself to be someone who just wants to add value to myself and to the society at large, hence me striving to be a better version of “me” everyday. So I wouldn’t say I have an ultimate career goal, however I want that name LIQUOROSE to be associated to everything value adding .

DESIGNER TASHA:

What are three things you can’t cope with on a daily basis, meaning you have to have these three things daily?

LIQUOROSE:

Music, Water & Food.

DESIGNER TASHA:

What charities are you currently working with? 

LIQUOROSE: 

Charity & giving out to people have always been very dear to my heart, which I executed through the birth of “Liquorose Cares”, which is a NGO… in the future we will cater in many grand ways to the less privileged. Currently, I have been able to do some outreach to the less privileged and motherless babies shelters through this platform and I still intend to do more in the coming months. I am looking also to partner with some other big charity /NGO across the world in order to provide succor to those in need in our society.

DESIGNER TASHA: 

What’s your favorite color?

LIQUOROSE:

Blue is my best colour in the world, because it represents humility and calmness to me…

DESIGNER TASHA:

What’s your favorite food?  

LIQUOROSE:

Sea food pasta.

DESIGNER TASHA:

I love talking about tribes and Always so intrigued by different tribes….What tribe are you from?

DESIGNER TASHA:  

What was your most memorable moment when you worked with Me (Designer Tasha)

LIQUOROSE: 

It’s your calmness and your love for the craft for me, you’re so conscious with every little detail from the prints to bottons to accessories and your energy on set is great Vibes.

DESIGNER TASHA: 

Awwww thank you! Thank you for teaching me some dance moves too! What do you love about Nigeria?

LIQUOROSE:

I love my country, there’s no place like home and we Nigerians are homely.

DESIGNER TASHA:

What’s your favorite place to travel?

LIQUOROSE: 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates… It is city that reminds me to chop life and relax and have so much fun!

DESIGNER TASHA:

What will you advise an entertainer (Author, Actress, Dancer & Model) on how they can balance their personal life and their career? You balance that very well.

LIQUOROSE:

I would just say “One step at a time “ and always know that everything will always work out eventually with perseverance & dedication to the craft…while at it keep yourself in check don’t lose yourself or your loved ones, that’s very key.

DESIGNER TASHA:

If you were a doll, what type of doll would you be, what accessories would you coke with & what would your doll name be? 

LIQUOROSE:

As far as a character, I really love Cinderella and her story, she is my favourite character… I would love for her to be adorned with Pearls and her name will be “Blue”.

DESIGNER TASHA:

There are a lot of young women that look up to you, was there anything you struggled with as a youth and how did you overcome it? 

LIQUOROSE:

My greatest  struggle while growing up was the Fear of Getting “No” as an answer which almost made me not confident enough to showcase to the world my talents and abilities. Gradually, I began to encourage myself and also believe that all of my given talents that I have are from God, which is for a purpose… so my talents needed to be showcased to the world. Right now I am at a place where I am confident enough to let the world know who Liquorose is and all that she stands for! 

DESIGNER TASHA:

Tell us what do you have coming up, what should we look out for! 

LIQUOROSE:

I just recently launched my first published book “FILTERS”, therefore introducing people to the Writer side of me. In the next couple of months, I will be introducing to the world another part of the LIquorose Brand, which I cant wait for them to explore with me. I am Super excited for all the good things yet to come.
