Nigerian Fashion designer, Idusi says designing Grammy outfit raises his global recognition

Nigerian designer, Patrick Idusi fashion label Rick Dusi says he is still in `shock’ following massive growth and recognition of the label after its debut on the just concluded Grammy red carpet in Los Angeles.

Newsmen report that Idusi attracted viral attention to his brand after designing the Grammy red carpet outfit for the actor, Tim Kubart. Kubart, who is a one-time Grammy winner and was up for another nomination on the 61st ceremony, wore a green suit made by Idusi that sparked conversations on Nigerian designers.

Although he forgot to acknowledge Idusi on the red carpet, he sent out a viral appreciation message through his Twitter account @timkubart. He said, “I regret not saying the name of the designer in this interview. Was overwhelmed by everything. But all respect to Rick Dusi.”
