The moment you meet fashion stylist and editor Chris Chidi you are in an elastic spree of her excitement, curiosity, and penchant to understand the world. At a party, you’ll find her in circles of deep conversation discussing art, revolutionary social change, and the complexities of being human. 

On set, you can find her creating statuesque looks. Her styling choices are distinct. A commanding, playful, and fortified femininity is explored through her work. You feel more like her subjects are characters revolving in a fairy-tale like world. 

In our conversation, we discuss topics like her experience of growing up a Valley girl then moving to Lagos, Nigeria, her very intuitive journey of becoming a stylist, and the fine balance of protecting your freedom as an artist when it becomes the way you make a living.
