CHICHIA LONDON {ARCHIVES}
Originally posted on June 26 2009
How could anyone forget this collection from Chichia London Back in 2009. My blog was not even a year old and the work of African designers was slowly being recognized around the world. This collection made me think about how rich and colorful African fashion was and to be honest it was one of the flyest collection at the time.

Q&A WITH TANZANIAN DESIGNER ANNA LUSKS
Anna Luks is the design label and my name is Anna Lukindo
When was it established?
I started the launch of Anna Luks towards the end of 2010
Where are you based?
London
Tell us about your fashion background, how you got started, why you got into fashion and the type of designs you do.
I guess I got into fashion from my mum and older sisters but it was always in my nature to create. Apart from my architectural back ground, I also was very much into performing arts and into design and won first prize in a design competition too back home in Tanzania. After I had my family, I got back into clothes designing and drawing. As I always loved working with a variety of textiles a lot of my work in Anna Luks uses recyclable materials such as ropes, cords, and yarn. My clothing designs and accessories are at present mainly for women.
How hard was it to get started?
As anyone who runs their business can tell you it’s not easy to set out on your own, especially in the fiercely competitive world of fashion. You just have to be determined and have great support networks in place.
What has been your greatest success to date within the fashion industry?
Launching Anna Luks, receiving positive feedback and from within the industry (creative peers, photographers, models) and general public supporters.
What is the future vision and aim for your label?
More collections from Anna Luks, expansion and international recognition. Check out

Interview with Doreen Mashika
Ciaafrique catched up with accessory designers a few days ago and asked a few questions about her work and her journey as designer.
Ciaa: Hi Doreen thank you so much for your time.Tell us a bit about yourself
Doreen:I was born and raised in
Ciaa:How did you get into designing? And why shoes, handbags and accessories ?
Doreen:I have always been a follower of fashion, and worked in the industry part-time while I was a student. Then later, working in the finance sector in the division of luxury goods, I was exposed to the creative processes of the World’s top designers – Tods, Gucci, Burberrys – and gained a behind-the-scene appreciation of what drives the luxury
goods market, the essence of its global allure and its cultural power
of influence. Coming back home to Tanzania, having time away from familiarity and everything I’d previously taken for granted, I realized just how much wealth Africa possesses in terms of inspiration and materials.
