hey everyone we're here at Magic
in the North Hall with
Doreen Mashika. One of the designers who
is displaying here at the emerging designer showcase. Doreen thank you for
speaking with us
Could you tell us a bit about I your line and how it started?
My line was started in 2008 and it actually
it comes all the way from the island of Zanzibar. Zanzibar is located on
it's part of Africa. We specialize in
cotton, silks. How I got started?
basically the vast materials available in Africa
with my you know Western philosophy I felt that
you know I could bring that into life and
people love so much so far in my region
and I'm already collaborating with a company from
New York. They discovered me in Africa
so yes. This is why I'm in magic because I realize they have to bring
it further.
Well that's great so can you tell us a bit about on your experience here magic
how it's been and
you know has it been a good response?
It's been interesting and perhaps not so much volume but then the interesting part is that you know
to me quantity is not always quality. I've had people who really directly
come and know now that this is what we want, and this is what we're looking for
This is our concept so
I like that because it can be very busy all day and then there's kind of
yes, nothing tangible out of it.
Great, well that's exciting. Thank you for taking a few minutes to speak with us
your work is really fantastic and we were excited to get to meet with you.
You're welcome. Thank you
