We had the good fortune of connecting with Oking Habib and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Oking, what do you attribute your success to?
Dedication and passion for fashion and bespoke styling.. The success of my brand today is from my over 35years of experience in men’s custom clothing and retail. I also reinvent both myself and business model to reflex today’s digital and internet world through social media and online presence.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have always be a sharp dresser and like to pay attention to what i wear daily. Am proud that
this God given gift has allowed me to meet and help so many men from allover the globe. And that includes both upscale super stars from religious, sports and entertainments spectrum as well as 9-5 men.
The challenges was basically support from financial institutions. However, i never give up on my vision and dream.
I also have support of my family.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I will take them to some Afrocentric restaurants, African American owned businesses and of course hang out at my favorite gang out ,the tennis court.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My grand mother and my mother are both fabric and clothiers back in Nigeria, I used to help both my grand mother and mother at their local market shops growing up. I also like to style my friends and associates for fun because fashion is like 2nd nature to me. After i arrived at USA in 1982 i quickly develop my passion by attending Institute Of Arts and fashion in Dallas Tx and secured a part time job at an upscale Men’s store in Downtown Dallas and then open up my 1st store in 1987.
