UNIQUE DESIGNS & SUCCESS

Right now there are so many crucial important matters that are making us all reflect on life.
The Black lifes matter movement ,  climate change, and the pandemic. My goodness it really is a lot to comprehend .   Then there is good news, success stories and this one is really interesting
and has to do with fashion.  



I happened to read an article about one black woman from Africa who is a fashion designer from Rwanda.
She always wanted to be a fashion designer that was her dream but she worked in film industry
She  went to Germany to study film, took 2 suitcases filled with her designs and sold them all to the young Germans.  What a gutsy and super story.

Her name is Jocelyn Umutoniwase , she started her business after seeing her designs would sell . 

A young women who was brave enough to believe in herself and her talent.

This is the article all about her, how she began to design her fashions and how she started her business.

I think it is an amazing story  and there are so  many talented people with great ideas out there.

I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement .
