this is an
@ohlanna.bu.zikora
love and appreciation post.
i wanted to go to the AMVCAs
as a nominated filmmaker
wearing a dress that meant something
to both my nominated work
and to my current project.
ohlanna and i had a conversation
and he immediately got it.
first, in My Body, God’s Temple
the film i was nominated for
the opening scene shows
a newlywed couple.
the bride’s wedding dress
is visible in the scene.
and this couple are so in love
and within that scene
we see their love (as well as their struggle).
secondly, my current project
CALL OF MY LIFE
the character i play, Soluchi
wears her heart on her sleeve.
she loves love.
what other way
to pay respect to the two projects
that i poured my literal
heart and soul and love into
than to wear an outfit
that embodies love, commitment
loyalty and romance
a dress one wears on the day
one gets with the love of their life?
he also made this inverted Alice band
to show my individualism
and a subtle nod to my new film
C for Call of my Life.
@ohlanna.bu.zikora outdid himself.
he did it last year
he did it again this year
and i’m supremely happy and proud
that such a powerhouse of a designer
who is just as insane as i am
and just as passionate about excellence as i am
gets to effortlessly (with A LOT of work)
custom make outfits for me
with just conversation from my heart.
he hears me, he says ‘i get it’
and he delivers on a world class level
with
@vcheuba styling both times.
whenever you see me
dressed in custom made ohlanna bu Zikora
know that a lot of dollars went into it
but i’m happy, because HE GETS IT.
