ENTER DAKOVA EXCLUSIVE FASHION PROFILE AND STORY OF his record 105 FASHION EXHIBITION AND SHOWS









“Some men are born great; others achieve greatness, while some have greatness bestowed on them”
-William Shakespeare


BY CERUTTI M.OSAGIE


)After   a record of about 105 fashion shows in the African continent, David  Kolawole VAUGHAN, President and CEO of  DAKOVA Fashions and style luxury brands is back to his natural beat of needle and thread, coming few years after his  short and eventful stint as a night club owner in Abuja
Speaking in an exclusive interview recently with this writer, Dakova says he has no regret trying his hands in the night club business, but feel very excited to return again full force to the DKV Fashion business and now aiming to put more exhibition show shortly 






He says of his big return to the fashion scene “I am one of those few Africans that have gone to extra miles in the name of fashion and it is on record that I have done to date a record of exactly 105 fashion shows and exhibition, and my happiness is that despite this record that is worth being mentioned in the respected Guinness Book of records I love to be modest about it
“In the past I have staged no less than 12 shows a year organized for charity, high style, corporate companies, beauty pageant among several others, and it is on record that for many of such shows I usually use top grade A models not only in Nigeria but across the continent
“I decided to most time get international models for my show because I have never believed in the art of compromise, I go only for the best or nothing that is my nature that is my upbringing that is how God created me




“though it is on record for the world to see that I have tried and succeeded in different field of life, I always regard myself first as an artist and my happiness is that you can beat me in other are in school, when it comes to art I was never a man of second position in school, first is my filed
“By artist it can evolve from painting, to dancing, to fashion designing or even to what body form should be like, because everything start from a point-from that little dot, where you put your pencil down to start your strokes, that is where you start drawing, no wonder am regarded as one of the fashion designer that looks at the human body as my point”
Dakova says he will not mind to be call a merchant of fashion, simply because fashion is his passion and everyday of his life he sells cloths,            I began as far as 1986, and I give glory to God that am still in the business, I have passed through a lot but am glad I never gave it a thought to quit the needle and thread business and today as God will have it he is back to his first love,fashion

This writer can reveal that to date, no club has hit the record DAKOVA set as night club owner of Abuja Aristotle  lounge where people will come to party at midnight and stay put till 8/9 AM next day
