Meet Ebele Iloanya | Creative Director

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ebele Iloanya and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ebele, what role has risk played in your life or career?
For every entrepreneur, Risk Taking is a big part of what we do, because the market trends change so quickly and are controlled by various factor. As the owner of MODChic, taking risks are inevitable from choosing the right location down, buying the right inventory, budget, to choosing the right personnel all have a certain level of risk involved. I like to say I take calculated risks, I try to know all the facts before a take a decision but sometimes I take a leap of faith. In my personal life I am total risk Averse.

What should our readers know about your business?
MODChic is women clothing brand i created in 2009 after moving from the UK to the USA. MODChic is for the woman who desires to look unique, class and put together at an affordable price point. I believe what sets my brand apart from others goes beyond the actual garment but a deep connection to clientele and our community impact. I would like to say I got here through hardwork, perseverance and passion but I believe God is the only one that can take that credit. Its been a journey and as with any journey its fraught with wins and challenges. Take each challenge on , keep a cool head and ask for help. Biggest lesson is its not how fast but how well. We are committed to our Clientele and community. The heart of our business is empowering women and we continue to work with charities to do that. Currently we have a initiative going on where each full priced purchase 10% goes to a Charity
