I met Zari Awodein, he works for Issey Miyake, on August 3, 2010 in Tribeca. I stopped him on the street and asked him if I could ask what his romance was. He said, “Amor Vincit Omnia.”
He said it in Latin. It means “Love Conquers All” in English. I asked him where he came from. He said, “Nigeria.” I asked why he said his romance in Latin even though people in Nigeria speak English. He said, “people say Latin as a language is dead, but I love Latin. Latin language is romantic to me.”
