Q&A<br />
Kapasa Musonda<br />
Mangishi Doll is an Afro-eclectic clothing line from Zambia<br />
that is inspired by unique style and bold prints. Msafiri chats<br />
with founder Kapasa Musonda.<br />
Where do you get your materials?<br />
I spend hours at a time in the marketplaces sourcing different Chitenge (aka<br />
Ankara) fabrics. I grew up seeing these prints on the streets of Zambia. My<br />
heritage naturally trickles into my work and every piece I create.<br />
What does Mangishi mean in Nyanja?<br />
Mangishi is a form of craft using twisted wire. The most popular items<br />
created using this technique are toy cars. I founded an accessory line<br />
called Mangishi Love, which inspired the current brand, Mangishi Doll.<br />
What does the future have in store?<br />
We’re here to stay. We’re constantly creating different and unique pieces<br />
that will resonate with different people and different cultures all over the<br />
world. We will launch our new line, The MDIndividualist, this Autumn.<br />
