Mataano showed a great collection . They played a bit with the nude colors which is really hot this summer .

Gloria Wavamunno fashion house was only established in 2009 yet her talent landed a spot for her at the Africa fashion week already . I did not get the chance to introduce her yet but promise to make a post about her line soon

Ciaa:I would like to welcome you to Ciaafrique, and thank you

for taking your time for this interview. Can you present yourselves to the readers?
Mataano: We are Idyl and Ayaan Mohallim, the designers behind the fashion label Mataano.

Ciaa: How hard was it for you to break in the fashion industry?
Mataano: It was and continues to be a labor of love. We moved to NY in 2004 and started from the ground up. We launched our first collection, Spring 2009, during September 2008 fashion week.
