My name is Seyar Elie, I'm a 26 years old from Cameroon, central Africa. I've been in the United States for some time now and I study marketing. I've always been in love with Fashion, so in 2014, I decided to launch a bowtie brand called Upendo. Which means "LOVE" in Swahili (Swahili been one of the oldest language in Africa). Safe to say I don't speak Swahili, I just love the word...
Since then, my love for photography emerged and there is a perfect balance between fashion and photography. In both areas, I'm an amateur who love what he does. Everything you'll see here is what I love. This platform is where I'd be sharing my work, and projects.
The Secret Gentleman is a reflection of my life, which is a work in progress. Through my art, vision and expertise, I hope you enjoy and like what you see here.
Feel free to ask me questions and contact me if you need fashion tips and advices, a photographer, a consultant, a brand ambassador, or a personal stylist.
