This is The Reason Why Everybody Should be Dying to be a Fashion Designer Right Now #DesignYourDestiny
The holiday season is here with us people, time to let go and have some fun. There is just something fascinating about December; people are happier, money seems to trend everywhere and certainly everyone feels all generous. Celebrities too so don’t be surprised when you bump into Khaligraph and he certainly feels like taking a selfie.
The people however feeling overly generous this year are Equity bank and they have demonstrated this through the Vijana Na Equity initiative; an online, nationwide talent search that invites artists to showcase their unique abilities within a broad of categories. And they’re starting off with all you fashion designers, upcoming and established.
Before we embark on this incredible journey however, its better you start by making a submission here>>>>VIJANA NA EQUITY and be sure to hurry up as the submissions close on the 15th.
From the 22nd, these submissions will go through a panel of judges where 40 contestants will be selected from the bunch. And you won’t believe who is making the selections. I’m talking the likes of Linda Muriithi; former Capital FM presenter and now Managing Director In The Bag, a company that organized two editions of a Fashion Week in Ethiopia-the hub of Africa Fashion Week. Basically she’s the epitome of fashion in East Africa if not the whole of Africa. There is also Franklin Saiyalel who is simply the leading male fashion blogger in the country. He keeps tabs on the latest International fashion trends and updates you through his various social media platforms. And there are not alone, other well acclaimed fashionistas will be in the line-up.
Once they make their selections, then you’ll be subjected to public voting which will last for 7 days. Yes, your designs will be put out there for everyone to sample and you can be lest assured it’s only moving forward from there henceforth. Even if you don’t get selected, someone will obviously notice giving you the perfect platform to start your own fashion line.
From the 12-14 of January 2015, the selected group will go through rigorous training before the ultimate winner is crowned and trust me you want to be that person. Apart from being the subject of discussion by the media and of course paparazzi’s crumbling to take photos of you, you’ll also get trained for free on financial management by Equity who we all know are the financial experts. This is important for the management of the business empire you’ll be scheduled to establish.
And that is not all. There will also be a fully paid trip to showcase your selection at the Hub of Africa Fashion week in Ethiopia among a myriad of other great prizes.
Now tell me whether that isn’t a dream come true and destiny fulfilled?
