How NYSC Allowance Sparked My Journey Into Fashion World – Kohol

Mr. Andrew Kohol, the founder of Vuda Fashion House, shared how his meager National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) allowance sparked his journey into the fashion world.

Kohol, speaking to a Mass Communication student from the University of Jos, explained that a visit to Vuda Fashion House as part of a course on visual storytelling inspired him. He recounted buying his first sewing machine, a Dragon Fly model, with his two-month NYSC allowance, which marked the beginning of his fashion journey.

Despite challenges, Kohol remained dedicated and consistent, leading to the growth of his fashion brand, now serving clients in Jos, Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, South Africa, the UK, and the USA. The student's presentation using the image of the Dragon Fly sewing machine as a symbol of passion and dedication earned praise from lecturers and classmates, highlighting the power of storytelling in the fashion industry.

Today, Vuda Fashion House stands as one of Nigeria's leading menswear brands,.
