What you’ll find in my walk-in closet – Celebrity stylist, Yolanda Okereke

Yolanda Okereke is fast getting a reputation as the celebrity stylist of the season. The talented pretty lady pulls impeccable pieces together for celebrities on the red carpet.

In her late twenties, Yolanda Okereke, a graduate of Chemical Engineering, has turned out to become one of the country’s most sought after stylists, who knows how to pull dashing looks for her clients on and off the red carpet.

Speaking about her fashion sense, Yolanda says, ”I love comfortable clothes, especially jeans and t-shirts or tank tops, and I love white a lot. Half of my wardrobe is white, but I’m trying to bring out black. When it comes to shoes, I have them, name it, from high street to designers; I have all sorts of them in my walk-in-closet. Also, I have a thing for designer bags.”
