Discovery

As a fashion lover and blogger, when I see something I like, I inquire more about it and share it with you! In the past few weeks, I have been seeing pictures of amazing graphic tees and I just had to get to the mastermind behind these brilliant designs.

Well, I found him and I managed to get a phone interview and exclusive pictures!!

The man behind the clothes is 19 year old Ikenna Madumere (also known as Michael).  He is a university student from Nigeria now based in Ottawa. The name of the line is Fort de Régalo. The word Regalo means 'luxury' in Portuguese and 'gift' in Spanish". When I asked about the inspiration behind his designs, he explained that his inspiration comes from the fact he Wanted to "create things that were exceptional, something distinct, a tee that you won't just walk out the road and see someone with a similar shirt "

As a new designer, we all want to know what makes his designs different from other designers, or things that are already in our closets.

Just like the two root meanings of the word "Regalo" he is providing the "gift" of "luxury" to anyone and everyone. Beyond that he feels his clothes will provide "the quality of comfort and satisfaction".

As for the future of Regalo Clothing, he wants it to "grow and expand to a line with varieties of other products such as shoes, bags, pants and 'whatever I can create' The t-shirts are just a start for something greater.
