While some fashion designers are struggling to uplift their brands in the country, Lilongwe based fashion designer Lily Alfonso continues to fly the country\u2019s flag with the latest being a display of her designs in Amsterdam, Netherlands during the I am Fashion Weekend.<\/p>\n
Alfonso leaves the country today for a fashion event which is set to bring on board 12 fashion designers.<\/p>\n
The designer focusing her subject on creating jobs with her craft will be running the shots at the event under the theme Business empowerment: The secrets of a successful business.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am happy to be part of this event and I am looking forward to displaying my designs at the event as well as interacting with other designers from other countries,\u201d said Alfonso.<\/p>\n
According to available information, Alfonso will arrive in Amsterdam on May 28 and depart on May 31.<\/p>\n
The organisers have said people will be blown away by the fashions on May 30.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking at making several connections for Malawi fashion industry during the event but also sell Malawi. I am happy to once again get this opportunity and my appeal to fellow fashion designers lets work hard and utilise the resources we have to get to the top,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile after her exploits in Amsterdam, Alfonso who has represented the country at several fashion events will be hosting a Malawi Fashion Night with Ghanaian renowned actor John Dumelo at Bingu International Conference Centre in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a one night show and we are calling it Malawi Fashion Night and I am inviting fellow fashion designers to be part of it for we will have Ghanaian actor John Dumelo,\u201d said Alfonso.<\/p>\n
She said during the night Dumelo, who apart from being an actor is also a designer, will be launching his clothing line.<\/p>\n
\u201cJohn Dumelo is a famous Ghanaian actor and is surely coming to Malawi and will fly straight to Malawi from Zambia. He is launching his clothing line and so this will be a special night. I will also be launching my online store,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Dumelo has starred in several movies but Alfonso said this time around he will be showing his designs.<\/p>\n
The Ghanaian actor and humanitarian, who was nominated for categories Most Promising Actor and Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 6th and 7th Africa Movie Academy Awards (Amaa) has confirmed his visit to Malawi in a video clip.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee you Malawi on the 5th of June,\u201d said Dumelo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
