What is fashion to you?
Fashion is art. It is more of self expression art
as you are the living and walking piece of
art so it is your job to attract people to
beautiful things, including yourself. I believe
that Fashion can have an individual
meaning for me, you and another person.
The most important thing here is how we
choose to define it. Personally ,Fashion has
always been there for me in so many ways
that most people don’t know of. Fashion for
me is more of a second skin, I feel
comfortable and as a way to express my
creativity.
I enjoy looking good. I don’t
dress up for a person to
compliment me (that too) the
main reason is to feel comfortable
and confident in what I am in.
What do you love about being a fashion
designer?
Simply everything!
I always find the entire process very thrilling.
From sketching , fabric sourcing and the
whole production of the garment. It is
comforting when my clients feel confident
and comfortable while trying out my
garments as I always pay attention to both
their comfort and class. I am always looking
forward to something exciting. Events like
Swahili Fashion week have been the
highlight of my life and it is truly exciting
that I have showcased some of my work on
such an event. I also enjoy Learning new
things because I believe that there is no
designer who knows more or who knows
less than the other. We all learn from each
other through experiences and the
knowledge we all have.
