Recession. What recession? By Catey Hill, Daily News staff writer
There doesn't appear to be one affecting designer Alexander Amosu, who has created the world's most expensive suit.
The suit is valued at $103,000.
It took more than 80 hours and 5,000 stitches to produce, according to LuxuryLaunches.com.
OK, but what makes the price tag leap over the six-figure mark?
The suit includes nine 18-carat gold and pave diamond buttons.
It is made from vicuna, which is a South American camel-like animal, that produces a very rare wool, BornRich.com says.
Oh, and its one-of-a-kind (of course).
Y'all know what caught my attention? The designer is a Nigerian! Can't believe I'd never heard of him until some days ago...Check out Alexander Amosu's achievements to Date:

Joke of the day
Florida Court Sets Atheist Holy Day
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, "Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
LOL

hey linda, i think u made a mistake with Richards surname, its not Nnaji, its Nnadi
Hey Linda, Alexander Amosu is Ghanian and not Nigerian....yes he was the first to start the ringtone thing on mobile phones...how ingenious!
Look where he is now...this is the attitude we need to encourage in our young ones, to believe in themselves, to create and to see the sky as their limit!
Well done to him.
Brother got it going on! I never heard of him either! He got mad skills....joke is comical!
Alex is not Ghanian o. He is Nigerian although has spent most of his life in the UK. He was one of the Judges on tv show Dragon's Den Nigeria last year.
It makes me so proud to see Africans doing big things......the joke is hilarious...lol take care hun!
I actually first read about Alexandra Amosu when he first launched the mobile ringtone thing and then didn't hear about him after that....But his achievements are truly inspirational and like YNG said, it's oh soo good to see young black men making it big through legitimate means..Kudos to Mr Amosu, whether Ghanian or Nigerian, we are sure proud of you!
How come we never heard about him, he's talented. Whether Nigerian or Ghanaian, we are all Africans, and let's support one another. Africans have too much talent, we need innovative minds to come together and make the continent better.
@anon 12:24. Amosu is 100% Nigerian, from the western part. why don't u read more about him on the web?
You all are stale.lol he was featured on Ovation waaayyy back back in the days!!
