Oya, let me be effusive and write like a style writer. This bobo they call Tony Elumelu, I have been watching his style for a bit now. If you are an ardent follower of his IG page, you will understand what I am saying.
He has evolved from the conservative suit wearing initial banker to a swashbuckling connoisseur of style. His pieces are always well put together, streamlined and coiffured to ease into a cascading tapestry of evolving engagements.
Then he compliments this with the wellcurated adornments with the carriage of a well-trained horseman. His physique with the wide chest, flat tummy and strong bowlegs makes the pieces sit so evangelically on him that they preach to you.
The killer point is the swagger. He gives off the Denzel Washington walk so easily. Jumping off a helicopter and swishing through corridors or holding an umbrella on a rainy New York street, he cuts the picture of a Monaco billionaire on the prowl.
Whoever are his stylists needs a Nobel prize if there is anything like that. Then he further kills it with a stubble that now gives him a more cosmopolitan look, driving him very far from the Ekpoma Tony that first came to Lagos. This Tony is now a style icon that has won global admiration not only for his work as an entrepreneur but for his inimitable style. Well done bro.
