Chalya Shagaya, the daughter of Brigadier General John Shagaya is the former model turned fashion stylist who has helped many celebrities put their wardrobe together.
But for sometime now, Chalya Shagaya has been off the scene. This is because she moved back to her former base in United States of America a few years back, and since then, Chalya has kept herself busy with her work. The International Fashion Stylist, Consultant and PR manager is presently cleaning out in America as she is invading the Western Market with African fashion.
She was able to achieve this because of the strong clientele of African designers, socialites and fashionistas she had while in Nigeria, and now based in Washington D.C, she is helping these same personalities break into the U.S market. She has also held several positions in the fashion industry, producing fashion shows and music videos. To date, her largest success has been with African designer Deola Sagoe who now shows during New York Fashion week and whose garments have been featured in several publications.
With her ever increasing profile, Shagaya has now expanded her consultancy on press; marketing and branding strategies to U.S based designers like Korto Momolu of Project Runway, as well as a number of African recording artists.
