Victoria James, popularly known as Veekee James, an award-winning Nigerian fashion designer known for her design and style of work is getting married soon.
The bride-to-be excitedly shared the good news on her social media platform on Sunday.
James shared photos from the romantic proposal and wrote: “10/06/2023 I Said YES to my answered prayer.”
Her comment section has been flooded with loads of congratulatory messages by different celebrities and fans.
In an earlier interview, the designer had revealed how she grew up in Ajegunle, Lagos and learnt sewing from her mum, who was a tailor.
She admitted that she never thought sewing was going to be how she earned a living as she didn’t have as much passion as she did for other skills she had.
Veekee confessed that one of the reasons she didn’t think of fashion in that light was because her mum wasn’t earning so much from the venture.
In her words, she thought fashion designing to be a ‘poor man’s job’.
