Author. the Zambian godfather of Blogging
Sir Kempson Ari de Visé we Yulu
My forename is Fashion/mode/vogue/élan and although I have been in Zambia for a long time, I have only
come to the limelight recent times. As Zambian
Fashion, my friends include MaFashio
@MaFashio who have made me their poster child, Towani Clarke @TowaniClarke
and her brand Kutowa Designs
@KutowaDesigns, Vala @valadesignhouse opened
its doors so I can be presented in all the various forms and hues I exist to
suite a cross section of trend lovers needs and tastes and an ever growing list
of new young and designers to older fashion institutions such as Kamanga Wear @kamangawear who have been innovating
and diversifying and even taken me with them as far as South African Fashion Week and Fay of Fay Designs who is headed for the Fashion Reception for a third time in Paris. I’m excited because in the wake of the official three day
celebration of Zambian fashion
@Zedfashionweek and show case of all things related to me as well as Zambia’s birthday, I am being fêted and empowered with an entire day
devoted to me… join me at Fashion Day
Out this Saturday 31st
October from 9am to Midnight at Foxdale Court @FoxdaleCourt, it
is my day and everything related to me as fashion.
My family name is art or Zambian aesthetics, music and
cuisine are my siblings and they too
will also be present making it a family affair.
We will all be on sale at various Designer Popup shops on site at Foxdale Court from 9am – 4pm, feel free to indulge.
Before I go any further I have a very important
announcement… The attendance for
this event is FREE. Now that I’m a
big deal in Zambia, there thinking about me a lot and how they can make my life
as Fashion even better and more important
hence part of the day will be spent talking,
sharing and advancing my cause at the Fashion
Think Tank which will run from 10am
– 4pm. As I’m about that life,
it would not be an event without showing me off on the runway via Fashion Show from 8pm and an After Party
at Sky Bar for all my friends and
fashionistas… It’s going to be a party.
Aside from a chance to see me, feel me and buy me, I’m
also bringing people together so
they can network and widen their scope. I assure you everyone
loves me because Fashion is an extension of people’s character and as I appeal
to people in various ways, come
with an open mind. By this point you
have made up your minds and are coming to the experience no
doubt, bring the kids along too because it’s a family event and grownups will
be well behaved and not indulge in their silly bad habits that they
see on tv in an attempt to try and be cool and hip…
fashionable. My all weather comrade
and social megaphone/biographer (who also wrote this verbatim)/author will be on deck live blogging and tweeting
(with Larry the Twitter bird) as the Fashion Day Out Superhero (He’s to legit to be a mascot). It does not
get more official than that, make your outfit as certified as an NRC and come in character.
I’ve come a long way in 5ifty one years, from just being mere print telela, java and wax Chitenge suites mothers and grandmother wore post 64’and
also a piece of cloth they used to hold babies on their backs. Now I’m an institution, an enterprise and an event that is élan, I
get excited with the direction a new generation of Zambian designers such as MUSHA
and Debbie Chu @Debbiechu101 are taking me. I just
came from being celebrated for three day at Zambia Fashion Week,
and now in the wake of latter, I
have my own day which feels like my get-together hosted in a unique
setting. It has been a way of life for
me in Paris where I have been celebrated since the 1660’s at the Saint-Germain Fair, and now it is an
honour to be at the Fashion Day Out
organized by the Zambia Fashion Council
@ and Foxdale Court on the 31st
of October 2015 from 9:00am –
00:00am at Foxdale Court in Roma. Institutions in support
of my well being as Fashion include,
Vala, MAFASHOW, The US of A,
Zambia Fashion Week, National Arts Council (NAC), MaFashio, Hot Fm @HOT877Zambia, IMAN cosmetics @IMANcosmetics, FORTRESS, Kabila Branding, ZHappening @zhappening and Atmosphere @atmosphere_news. In case you are still wondering, my name
is Zambian Fashion and Fashion Day Out is my day. Catch you on
the seam/crease.
