It's day one of Zim Fashion Week folks and my goodness did the designers outdo themselves. Everyone has been looking so forward to the defining of fashion and I should say, day 1,we got it.
First designer, Netsai Mujuru showcased her work and from my opinion, that was not even a show start but a show stopper. Her collection inspired by the East, was amah-zing. Even though she says it had a touch of Christian inspiration, we loved how she brought out the glam in it all. Talked to two folks from the crowd who rated the designs a 10/10. Well what can I say
Second designer was Humfrey Sarimu with his label SamLui showcased his bag collection and that's we call 'fashion redefined'. With his collaboration with Lady Blckrunnaway, it definitely were an A-plus.
Mehreen from Reen Zara also showcased her collection named 'Glamorous' and managed to have a chat with her after her show and that's when I learnt her collection was inspired by the deep forests of the Amazon then it all made sense to me. Awesome collection it was.
Then it was time for the showcasing of the Young Designers from the ZFW initiative program and each designer had to showcase their work inspired by different cultures and tribes in Zimbabwe. We had designs from tribes like The Ndebele, The Tonga to name a few.
"I think it was a really great idea as it brought out different tastes of clothes and also bringing out the theme of remembering the forgotten cultures", these were sentiments from one renowned designer, Tapfumanei Munenge. I definitely shared the same sentiments.
We had different designers showcasing as well like 9-lives,Ceca and the final slot was showcased by O'Brien Methuselah from Obyniq's. This South African based Zimbabwean had the crowd on fire. Being the only designer on day one to showcase menswear, he definitely got back everyone's attention.
Just feast on the pictures below folks and we'd like to apologise that we didn't manage to get all the visuals due to some technicalities. We promise more as the days come
