Why we love Alexx?
1. Tuxedos:
Alex slays the tuxedo game by far! He loves his tuxedos and he is never afraid to express his fashion personality through them. He’s in tune with the different style of tuxedo and he rocks them perfectly well. He has his ways around formal outfits, he’s rarely wrong with a simple striped shirt tucked into a pair of trousers topped with a nice belt and a pair of moccasins or loafers.
2. Stylish black outfits.
Left to Alex, he will stop wearing black when a darker color is created! He has the flare to turn black to a great style piece which is aided by how his complexion synergizes well with black outfits. we love his style regardless of his preference for black.
3. African print.
Alexx is a firm believer in African prints; Which is fueled by his love for black heritage and culture. Who says a man can’t rock prints and be dapper at the same time?
4. Breaking new grounds.
Alex partnered with Nigerian top fashion designer, Yomi Casual for one of his collection. In this partnership you would see the Alex you’ve never seen before, you would see the man filled with so much fashion taste. His fashion experience speaks a lot without him having to speak, with the actor who is known for his sartorial choice to develop designs that are very simple, comfortable, refined, timeless and imperial. He is well known for his panache and has also featured in a lot of lookbooks.
