It hurts me when i hear someone say "there isn't a fashion industry in Zimbabwe" even there is an element of truth in that statement.
However, it makes me wonder how first street is always filled with fashionable peeps walking down the road in a complicated fashion industry like ours. Its very disappointing to know that 80% of those clothes are not locally made and 50% of that is China made.
Myself coming with this idea of forming a fashion council is not because of just my passion for fashion. Its about the gap that i realized personally from a designer's perspective. The fashion industry chain is broken and i would like to take this as an opportunity to revive the industry. I vow to be a fashion ambassador for Zimbabwe.
Now the journey to create a fashion industry for Zim starts here. Its impossible for me to do it alone, it takes you and me to succeed in this. The vision is to become an internationally recognized fashion community. Harare, Zimbabwe LET'S DO THIS!
