STYLE WITH BRYAN: FORMER MR NIGERIA.

Ikenna Bryan Okwara combines very rare qualities. Good looks, Intelligence and Panache. It is not everyday you find those qualities in the portfolio of a young man. He is equally a bundle of talents, all spiced up with an alluring personality. The good looking super model, TV presenter and actor won the title of Mr Nigeria in 2007 and climbed to the semi finals in the Mr World 2007 competition, representing Nigeria. The 6ft 3, American-born Nigerian is a graduate of International Relations. He is from Ideato South, Imo State, Nigeria. Prior to going for the Mr Nigeria contest, he was a presenter on Nigezie Television and a model. He did a lot of International modelling and commercials in South Africa, which became his base at some point in his career. After the Mr Nigeria and Mr World competitions, he took part in the Best Model of the World contest in Bulgaria where he won the 2010 Best African Model. Bryan has graced the covers of many prestigious magazines and has played unforgettable roles in flicks like “I’ll take my chances”, “Ifunaya”, “True Citizens” and more. He is currently being sought after to come on Big Brother Africa in spite of previous hinderances centred around his busy schedule and commitments, which would delight his numerous fans and followers across Africa and beyond.

Two things one can’t help but notice about him, aside his numerous talents are his warmth and sense of humour. He is also a very stylish personality and one of the best dressed men in the entertainment circle.

We cornered him recently to talk about his style……..

  My shoes.

 Suits

Some people say mood determines what they wear, what determines yours and why?     

I totally agree.. My mood determines what I wear, definitely. Even if I was to attend a pool party in a hotel and my mood tells me to look like the owner of the hotel, I dress the part. Or I'm catching a flight to Europe and my mood tells me to wear a jalabia with flat sole shoes and just kick back, watch movies and enjoy the flight.. I'd do just that.

Are you a power dresser or a subtle one?     

I basically dress to impress. 

What items should a complete man not do without?

Wrist watch, tiny gold neck chain, bracelet, a ring, and glasses to complement, shoes, perfume, shaving kit, after shave, shower gel, body spray, hair brush, belts, ties, tie clips, ear rings (optional), smart phone and a business phone, laptop,dumbbells, the list goes on and on.

How outrageously have you spent money on anything and what?

(Laughs) I've bought 3 cars in 3years.... I love fast cars
