Arinze Marshall grew up in Nigeria in a house of five boys. The fourth child in line, he was always known as the fashionable brother.
“My love of fashion stems from when I was a kid,” Marshall says. “My mom would always say I was just as fashionable as my father, which was special since he passed away when I was just 10 years old.”
After studying microbiology in college, while simultaneously modeling and hitting the runways outside of class, Marshall immigrated from Nigeria to Houston in 2016.
Arinze’s Maiden Collection debuted this year with two bags, the Oma Bag (“beautiful” in the Igbo language) and the Echiche Bag (“thought” in the Igbo language).
