The theme of the show was contemporary swahili....i took my inspiration from the swahili culture and the Indian ocean,the bottom of the dress is actually made as the waves and the black net is "fish nets" supposedly used by Swahili people for fishing...the dress is beaded and has sea shells....yellow is my Favorite color so I loved using it in my collection while neutralizing it with black
Doing my grand finale did not get a clear picture since I was moving very fast....(nervous),I love my two piece collection in bright yellow khanga mixed with black plain wax.My dress completed the collection..
When i was announced the winner (Aisee nilipanick), I came running and jumped on poor Deo...I was so excited that my hardwork really paid off, thanks to the lord,my family and friends,Mustafa Hassanali and the Swahili fashion week team and everyone who has been supporting all this time.
