Nnenna Stella went from waitressing and teaching herself sewing skills to running a multimillion-dollar company.Author:Jonathan SquarePublish date:Jul 17, 2018In 2013, Nnenna Stella decided to embark on a meditative retreat. She had been waiting tables and trying to stay positive, but she wasn't happy. The Wrap Life, a popular head wrap and accessory brand, was born one month after the retreat — and mere days after Stella taught herself the requisite skills.
Today, Stella is creating new traditions and imbuing the head wrap with new meaning. Most notably, her designs add a level of accessibility and ease to the practice of head wrapping. Despite being half-Nigerian, Stella did not grow up wrapping her head in her hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas; when she discovered the power of adorning her head with fabrics sourced from Ghana and Morocco, she made it her mission to make the art of head wrapping easier.
Recently, the brand got a boost in its visibility when its wraps were featured on the March cover of Vogue Arabia on models Iman and Imaan Hammam. Stella was approached by stylist Michael Philouze to style their head wraps. "I thought it was a joke at first. I wasn't convinced until I received the call sheet," says Stella.
