My Dearest Shona people.I am so nervous,please be gentle with me. I've been reimagining what a Shona woman from the year 1830 would look like if she teleported into 2022. The chevron pattern, gold, ivory, leather and cowhide tiedye,the draping....

We have played small for too long, like we are ashamed of our roots. Like we lost the art of evolving like other tribes. The colonisers taught us to be ashamed of our Nguni, Shona, Venda, Tonga, Kalanga, Nnambya, Shangaan roots. Never again!
Ingwekazi...The African Leopardess
This gold & black handbeaded leopard print with black cowhide gown was inspired by the most revered of animals in Africa - the African Leopardess🐆. A symbol of power, courage, confidence and royalty.
Shine African Woman, Shine✨✨
This gown was designed to embody the ultimate Cowhide glamour. Art... Culture... Luxury.
The finest cowhide, pearls and feathers for the woman who knows her worth and then adds tax!👑

I wanted a maternity outfit that celebrates my culture and tells the authentic story of my roots, as should African Fashion. Pregnancy is a spiritual journey; for me, it was an important time to reflect on my identity, who I am, who I am becoming, where I am coming from...
When we call ourselves African Queens we are not trying to convince anyone. We are reaffirming the obvious and saluting ourselves in all our granduer and evolved ways. We are crowned, we are proud, We are royal. We are Africa’s pride - Africa's Leopardesses

I've been trying to go back to the archives, the Karanga, Korekore, Manyika - Shona drawing board. I've been obsessing on the Great Zimbabwe chevron pattern, on the brown sexy Mashona cow, on the ivory and the gold, on fabric tiedyed with barks, roots and herbs.
For the Shona Woman whose daddy owns the cattle on a thousand hills & whose man trades in gold and ivory. We give you our famous signature Shona Dress in cowhide.
Embellished with gold, ivory & wood beads,dripping in cowryshells and etched with Chevron memories of Great Zimbabwe.
I was imagining a young woman sitting on the floor watching vakwasha vachipinda mumba maBaba vake nemombe, finding their bride looking like this.I didn't want to do too much with this first attempt. I wanted to be true to the roots .
Step 1 (2022) -Remember
Step 2 (2023) - Evolve
We are at the Money Soiree today.Hosted by Ms Noma Outspoken Consultants. How do I look in my Cowhide Fascinator and Corset?

When will this war end ?When will women be safe? We are currently taking a beating from every angle.
Our crowns are on standby. We want our children to remember us beautiful not bloody. We want them playing in our skirts out of love, not hiding fear.
This is a rare picture of a Matabele Queen in a tribal crown, embellished with the rarest of gems. Look closely.... We have pearls, beads and hand painted tampons...Everything luxury. Luxury Tribal Fashion. I don't think you understand.I came through drippin' in this picture...
When a pastor said..."Zimbabwe shall one day be the breadbasket of Africa", I took it personally guys.
The world must see the work of Zims🇿🇼 hands...

Obsessing on chocolate skinned gorgeous Shona women. I've been staring at images taken in the 1800's, that Nehanda look. I've been dreaming of a reincarnation of a Mashona Queen. Draped in leather, cowhide, ivory and gold.
Happy Happy 80th Birthday Gogo MaNdlovu ...Wishing you an amazing celebration today Tribe Queen 👑 ❤️🎂
May God grant you more life, health and joy.

This is an image of the woman I imagined I would be as a little girl. An elegant beautiful queen. This was my childhood idea of an African queen. A woman who glides through her existence gently, with elegance, power and poise. But is is not exactly the became....
To say that I am rebelling against Western fashion norms would be incorrect. For one to rebel against a system they need to be subject to it.I am a Born Free.I am free to express, free to celebrate, free to choose.I choose my culture.I choose my Zimbabwe🇿🇼

Goodmorning Zimbabwe
In 2050 when your children ask you, "what did Ndebele women look like back then", show them this photograph of an unmarried childless Matabele woman in her traditional regalia taken in the year 2020.

Zimbabwe has many tribes, the Ndebele, Kalanga, Tonga, Venda, Banyai, Sotho, Shona (which on its own is a name embodying a rich ethnic Bantu people consisting of various tribes, the Zezuro, Rozvi, Korekore, Karanga etc) yet..
