It’s a new year, with a new year comes new ideas. So
for this year we decided to include exclusive interviews with top players in
the fashion industry, from models to designers to photographers and even
bloggers and stylists.
Bello Olawale Sodiq needs no introduction in the
fashion industry. Asides being a top fashion model signed to Beth Modelling
Agency, he also won Mr Ideal in 2010 at the age of 22. He studied mechanical
engineering in Olabisi Onabanjo University. He hails from Kwara state and comes
from a family of 7 kids of which he's the last. He recently got nominated for
model of the year by West African Fashion Award. Haute9ja got the chance to
exclusively ask him five quick questions.
Why modelling?
I got a lot of comments about my physique back then
and encouragement that I should try modelling. I was also inspired by David
Agbodi's profile who is my role model.
So if you where not modelling, what would you be
doing?
I would probably be working in the oil and gas
sector.
What was your first fashion gig?
Model of africa fashion party.
Who are the top 5 fashion brands you've worked
for?
Mai atafo inspired, tzar, orange culture , mcmeka ,
Lakin Ogunbanwo.
In the near future what designers would you like to
model for?
Calvin Klein, Ozwald Boateng, David Bowler and many
more.
It was great chatting with Wale and from Haute9ja, we wish him the very best!
