Jamati: Hello Layo, thanks for talking with us at Jamati. Tell us a little bit about your background. Where is home for you; Where did you grow up?
My name is Layo Gbadamosi, I’m 22, originally born in Ibadan Nigeria, where I was raised till my family moved to London at the age of 8. We spent three years there till we moved to New Jersey at the age of 11, went to the University of Maryland, College Park for my B.A. degree, and I currently reside in Maryland, but getting ready to move to New York to start law school at Fordham Law, and fashion school at Parsons the New School for Design.
Jamati: Where did the interest of designing spring from?
I always had my head in my books, but my heart in fashion since I was a little girl. I however did not quite figure out how to channel my passion till I was about 18 when I knew I would love to own a clothing line one day. Since then, my plans revolved around starting my line and developing my business, and that is exactly what I did in 2006 when I started Gloss.
