Styling at Zizi na Zazi Clothing Brand



 In the words of the founders themselves, this is all about the Clothing brand:
SIMPLY PUT TOGETHER, ZIZI NA ZAZI, MEANING “MY ROOTS” IS A COMBINATION OF A UGANDAN LANGUGE CALLED LUSOGA AND ALSO THE SWAHILI LANGUAGE IN EAST AFRICA . ORIGINATING FROM THE WORD “MIZIZI NA WAZAZI”, ZIZI NA ZAZI COMPANY LIMITED IS A TRADE MARK COMPANY IN KENYA THAT AIMS AT NOT ONLY GIVING YOU THE BEST QUALITY IN PRINTING AND MAKING THE “I POWERFULLY LOVE AFRICA: T-SHIRTS, CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR BUT ALSO AIMS AT GIVING YOU AN IDENTITY, A VOICE THAT SPEAKS IN VOLUMES, A VOICE THAT CONNECTS ALL AFRICANS AS ONE, AND A VOICE THAT SAYS YOU ARE PROUDLY AFRICAN AND YOU REPRESENT YOUR AFRICAN ROOTS THROUGH WHAT YOU WEAR.

“ODO NYERA FIE KWAN”- “LOVE NEVER LOSES ITS WAY HOME”. THE ZIZI NA ZAZI SYMBOL WHICH IS AN ADINKRA SYMBOL WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE ORIGINATED FROM THE AKAN AND THE GYAMAN OF COTÉ d’IVOIRE FROM WEST AFRICA, WHERE BY THE SYMBOL REPRESENTS THE ORIGINALITY OF THOUGHTS AND LOVE FOR HOME . IT’S THE AFRICAN SYMBOL OF LOVE.

LOVE, DEVOTION AND FAITHFULNESS IS WHAT ZIZI NA ZAZI IS ALL ABOUT. BY ADDING THE HORNS ONTO THE SYMBOL, BRINGS OUT THE POWER AND STRENGTH THAT ZIZI NA ZAZI BELIVES ALL AFRICANS POSSESS, SIMPLY BECAUSE HORNS IN AFRICA SYMBOLIZE POWER.
10% OF THE COMPANIES PROFITS GO TO CHARITY.

I POWERFULLY LOVE (AREA CODE) AFRICA.

“PUT IT ON WITH PRIDE”

 Over the weekend I got to style for this clothing brand. They were going for the African-wear theme, I incorporated turbans and head wraps on the ladies and transformed  the shawls into skirts. 
Some of the lovely models I worked with:

Behind the scenes...
Wearing T-shirts does not have to be boring, you can always mix it up with african-print skirts or If going casual you can mix it up with a head wrap,kufi hat or turban, as below...

And for the gents, the T-shirts could be dressed up with your jeans and sunglasses, or go up a notch and wear an african-print Kufi.
