AFRICA FASHION WEEK DAY 1: MATAANO, MARIANNE FASSLER, STEPHANIA MORLAND

Ayaan and Idyl Mohallim the designer behind Mataano brought us back to spring/summer at the Africa fashion week with their collection filled of tropical colors. The models walked the runway floor length dresses, floral rompers and jumpsuits, full and knee length skirts. The collection was very chic and playful and definitely set the standards very high. You can learn more about Mataano by reading my interview with them here and check out their previous collections.

Interview with the designers behind the fashion label Mataano

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.
