INTERVIEW WITH FARAI SIMOYI



Farai Simoyi was born in London, England, the child of Zimbabwean parents. She lived in Harare, Zimbabwe, where she got her first taste of textiles and fashion, from her aunt’s lingerie company at age five.  Her aunt would give her scraps of fabric, which Farai would sew together by hand to make clothes for both her and her dolls.  And, thus, her passion for fashion was born.Farai is getting ready to rock the runway in NYC in September and was kind to Grant Ciaafrique an interview.


How do you intend women to feel when wearing  Farai clothing?
I want to create emotion in the woman who is buying or wearing FARAI. Think of how good it feels when you are shopping and you find that amazing dress, in your size, it fits perfectly in all the right places, and it's for a great price; and all you can think about is where you're going to wear it to, with what shoes, with what purse, how to do your hair etc...That's all emotion...and that's what I want to create.
