Taking Africa to great Heights!

 An eye catching designer that has set her pace from  the streets to the runway...African is on another level with Prelim!

The Georgeous Premlin

 1. When did you start designing?

Forever!! I remember making outfits for my dolls when I was little. But I'd say I've  done this seriously for the past 5 years. And last year I launched my own label Prelim.

2. You seem to be a fan of the African touch ...feel us in on that.

My current influence in my collection is the Afro beats music influence, the fusion of African culture and western street culture and exploring it in fashion. As musician Fuse Odg said " this is new Africa" people are proud of their African heritage and western roots. What I aimed for with my clothing line was that it would be able to mix and match with items already in their wardrobe.

3. Which is the most complicated fabric to use when designing?

Has to be chiffon or leather because the sewing machine struggles to sew it. 

4. what sort of clients are you targeting?

Women from all ages that love African culture and want to express it in a modern way

5. What is the public’s response to your designs so far?

I have had a phenomenal response with my Face book page reaching 3000 likes and featuring in AfroElle magazine and great feedback from clients and followers. It’s totally amazing!

6. What do you think of the African fashion industry at the moment?

It's booming!! Major fashion houses are starting to be influenced by African fashion. It's adapting to modern silhouettes but keeping that African touch. It's an exciting time for African fashion

7. Are working on any special projects?

Yes I am I'm working on an athletic line with varsity jackets and caps. 

8. Fill us in on premlin’s future plans fashion wise.

Prelim is going to be part of Africa at spitalfields in London on the 19th of May. I'm excited to be showcasing in African London Fashion Week. Hoping to have more stock lists selling my clothing.
