Designer Kingsley Gbadegesin's brand K.ngsley celebrates five years, having learned significant lessons about intuition and timing. After an encouraging call from his mother, Gbadegesin improvised a unique tank top for a party, which led to a significant increase in social media engagement. Recognizing the market's demand, he launched a tank top that resonated widely due to its inclusive and appealing design. This product exemplified the importance of a hero item in building a successful brand and highlighted the synergy between creativity and timing in fashion.
