Zim Fashion Week.... Day Two

It's day two of the biggest event of the year folks and yes it's main purpose is unfolding, showcasing Zim's raw talent.

First designer of day two was Tadiwa with Maison de Rouge. The collection mainly based on the tribe of opulence who are very stylish and vibrant. Having derived her inspiration from vibrant colours, it really showed on her amazing collection. She mentioned when we talked to her how she loves colour and how they come up all together and make something amazing.

Second designer to showcase was Kwedu designs. These guys are all about promoting the true Zimbabwean spirit. Talked to the head designer who mentioned that they all about creating clothes that are fun and that people should feel they belong in them." this collection was inspired by the African continent and it's cultures" said the head designer. Their designs were really high as they also celebrated different fabrics with some from Italy.

Next designer to showcase was Kay Terera with her collection named Zim Apparel. We asked her how she came up with the name and she told StyleArchivezw that her collection was all about rebranding Zimbabwe as a whole. With the negativity that comes with the name at times, she decided to attach a positive picture to the Zim name through her designs. She was all about patriotism and really fell in love with the whole idea.

Then the main highlight of the night was ADNP Designs sponsored by Hoity Toity Lentheric. Well I should say folks, this was an amazing showcase. Mainly showcasing lingerie, the designs were out of this world. Well we couldn't have expected anything less with sponsors like HTL.

Then we had designers from the renowned fashion shop, Zedlabel. Well these guys never disappoint and it was the same this time. Having three designers showcasing, their designs really spelt out their awesomeness.

Visuals below will leave you oozing with jealousy if you were not there,well don't blame me

Zim Fashion Week..... Day one

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
