About Jennifer Onah - London

Affordable fashion with a twist!

Location United Kingdom, London

Bio Jennifer Onah has been studied fashion for 4 years – she completed an Art Foundation at Cavendish College in Goode Street London and has now completed her Degree in Fashion at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfied, UK where she studied for three years. After completing her first year, like many, Jennifer always involved herself in fashion related activities out of her studies, to satisfy her hunger for the creative industries. For one year Jennifer worked along side a sample machinist and she also worked on the production team with the UK Film Council as a trainee in hair, make-up and costume design, on the film “Nowhere Boy,” based on the life of John Lennon. She was also able to begin thinking about her own label Jennifer Onah (London).

She has showcased collections numerous times, at a variety of major London and UK events. Her most recent achievements are Jennifer featuring on the first series of a new stylist programme for Channel 4's T4, sponsored by New Look, where she showcased a styled collection in front of a panel of judges made up of: Designer Giles Deacon, the creative director of New Look Barbara Horspool and Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Performing Artist Ms Dynamite has worn an outfit of hers on 'MTV'S Spanking New,' whilst performing Live with fellow artist Katy B. Links to all of Jennifer's recent achievements can be found on the 'Links' page. Jennifer’s plans for the near future are to begin work on her own clothing and accessories line and officially launch her own label.

Jennifer's Frequently asked Questions:

1.) What advice would you offer to someone else starting out in your field?

I would say be prepared to work! You may feel like your at a bit of a stand still for a while but eventually it will all pay off and that breakthrough will come! If your good, your good! You have to believe that you're going to get there. You are the only person who can really do it for yourself.

2.) Who or what inspires you?

Anything and Everything, I am really open minded to the world, particularly languages and Creative cultures.

3.) What makes someone a style icon?

Somebody who always looks different and has their own individual look and personal style. Someone who you always have to ask ‘where did you get that? Or someone you see dressed really well and wish you had thought it up first!’

Influences Anything and everything!
