Are you busy with any projects at the moment?
“Walk to School Project” is an NPO wing of A MILE IN MY SHOES, whereby we buy or ask for donations for school uniforms for underprivileged schools in the community.
Please share your inspiration behind Deeva Fab.
My late mom was also a fashion seamstress and curtain maker. DEEVA FAB is mainly about VINTAGE unique designs with 3 ranges (Vintage, Rennaisance and Couture). Vintage says you are unique, one of a kind. Since fashion is cyclical there is always some pieces of styles from past eras (1950s, 60s,70s and early 80s). The good thing about vintage is that most items are limited or cannot be found at every chain store. Selling Vintage clothes started as a fund–raising project for the “Walk to School Project” but now, with the couture ranges, we design and make new clothes as per customers requirements, although we still prefer vintage or retro inspired patterns and designs.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about life in general, about all things beautiful and mostly fashion.(I love clothes)!
What is your personal motto?
I am blessed to be a blessing.
Who or what is your inspiration and why?
A lot of people inspire me differently but I must say any woman who has made it in life, against all odds. Single mothers who raise their kids in the fear of the Lord, run their homes single handedly and still shake things in the business world, have my outmost respect.
