My full name is juwairiyah muhammed. I was born in Jos, Plateau state. Moved to Abuja In 1996 when I was 3 years old. Am currently doing my degree program at baze university, studying sociology.
I started designing and sketching my clothes since 2007. Before my mum gives our clothes to the tailor for sewing, she always waits for me to come and give the tailor what design i want. I never let her or the tailor decide. Subsequently, I decided to start my own clothing line, of which flagged off in 2013. I love working with lacy fabrics that have big patterns, because its soft and has a unique design that suits the fabric. I normally select a fabric, then sketch what i think goes with it best.
I have for as long as I can remember, always wanted to be a designer, mainly because i love seeing people look good i what they wear. My father always gets me fashion magazines to go through and get new ideas on whats trending in the fashion word . My role model is Zuhair Murad, a lebanese fashion designer. I love his creativity and uniqueness in fashion designing.
'El armario' means the wardrobe in Spanish. Fashion means everything to me, in the sense that it is a part of our daily routines, from picking our school or works, to what we sleep in.My brand is indulgent, elegant and cool. I design all sorts of dresses, be it wedding, evening dinner, fashion events etc.
My main inspiration comes from the likes of Zuhair murad, Elie Saab, and funny as it ma seem, sometimes even from fictional animations like Cinderella, Anastasia etc
The wardrobe has the distinct traits of dresses being beautiful, yet classic and elegant. I always like to create illusions in my designs, which turn out to appear even better than I imagined.
