Pushing the boundaries with FBA_ZIM

We write not because we have to but because we want to – Alexandra Mebe

 From a very young age I knew I wanted to pursue something I loved and couldn't wait to get out of bed for. There’s something about doing what you love that makes it feel like you aren't working at all but more of living the dream. Granted there are some flaws to the business like every other job but personally it’s a little less taxing for me and the good outweighs the bad.

Shooting with Fashion Bloggers Association Zimbabwe FBAZIM can be surreal at times; working with creative’s who want to push creative boundaries and bring Zimbabwean fashion alive is everything. Some people don’t yet understand why we do what we do but the more they see it the more they believe it. This year is all about pushing harder than ever before and not conforming to the stereotypes and standards of the industry but setting them ourselves.

There is great pleasure in collaboration. Fashion icon Pharrell said, “Collaborate with people you can learn from.” This rings true to me because that’s FBAZIM is all about. To be around bloggers like Tendai Kamusikiri of Signature Toscie, Robin Chaibva of Concrete Jungle Fashion ZW and Sharron Mungazi of Deffinatelyshaz is far from inspiring. The other pool of bloggers who are part of FBAZIM also have something unique that they bring to the table. 

This has helped me appreciate what each blogger can offer considering our different style preferences. Being able to share ideas and grow together is what coming together is all about. In a world where it’s each man for himself it’s great to have a platform were support drives us to move each other forward. No man is an island and together we do so much more.
