VIDEO: INTERVIEW WITH MISS AVANTGARDE 2015 & FASHCRASH BY LALITA DESIGNER

I enjoyed every moment of this interview with these ladies. We had a few technical hitches with the location (Hampton by Hilton) but the video turned out great.

It was a beautiful, sunny day. Also a challenging one for me and my technical crew! The AFWA team did an excellent job organising an event of this magnitude in a historic location: The Royal Tropical Institute. There were designers from various continents in attendance to exhibit their latest collections.

We are looking forward to the next edition of AFWA.

VIDEO: INTERVIEW WITH DIANA TAMBE & AYDIN ACIK

Recently, I sat down with Diana Tambe and her business partner, Aydin Acik in a 30-minute interview.
At a very young age, Cameroon-born Diana Tambe migrated alongside  her mother to Helmod, The Netherlands. Diana has now grown into a creative fashion designer and an events organizer with an unending passion for African fashion. She is the CEO of Blackpearl Secret and the Creative Director of Africa Fashion Week Amsterdam. According to Diana, ”There is a need to celebrate the culture, arts and fashion of Africa in Amsterdam.”
Aydin on the other hand, originally from Turkey, has been in the fashion business for decades. He also started out as a model and has now built a reputation for himself as ‘The Fashion Man’.
Listen to what they both had to say about their drive and plans for the future.
