Celebrating Zim culture and heritage through fashion

Celebrating Zim culture and heritage through fashion

There is something about a Matabeleland woman and cowhides as cattle represent wealth and royalty. So when fast-rising Bulawayo fashionista, Brilliantine Bangamuseve rocked a cowhide outfit this week in celebration of her birthday, she owned the social media streets as she screamed royalty and presented all the qualities of a feisty African queen.

The outfit was a result of a partnership between local designers, Nomakhosazana Ncube’s A Tribe Called Zimbabwe (brand whose thrust is to celebrate Zimbabwean heritage and identity through fashion) and Freddy Sozinio Jackson’s Sozinio (a brand that embodies the words couture, high fashion, style and glamour), both Bulawayo brands.

The result was magical.
