“I Didn’t Come Into This Industry As A Fashionista” – Simi Takes On Her Style Critics

There was a time when Simi would strongly disagree if you so much as say a negative word about her fashion choices but it appears she’s having a rethink and choosing to listen more.

In a new interview with Vibe.ng, the singer addressed the criticisms she gets for her style saying, “I didn’t come into this industry as a fashionista or a fashion icon. I’m not a model, I’m not a fashion designer so if you come and attack that,.. I can learn and become better but I can’t feel bad because that’s not my talent. Do you understand? That’s not where I am selling.”

Simi, who is the magazine’s latest cover girl also gushed about being woken up to a tweet by Grammy Award winning singer, India Arie saying she loved ‘ALL’ of her(Simi’s) songs.  “When you see people that are your heroes, you know, not even just like in your country, like worldwide,um…acknowledge you without you having to chase for that acknowledgement… that’s success…those are the kinds of things I regard as success.”
