Fashion model doing her thing

Rahab Inghalwa has been doing professional fashion modelling for three years and has since branched out to selling women's clothes and accessories. She launched her online shop Ravenda Posh last year and has been selling clothes to mostly Namibia but also in southern Africa. She mentioned that her aim is to provide services and products through Ravenda Posh that are different from what is already out there. “I want to make shopping easier for a lot of Namibians. The internet is the future so I am just trying to capitalise on it and keep up with the trends of doing things,” she said.Inghalwa told tjil that her dream for Ravenda Posh is to grow it to a point where it becomes one of Africa's foremost online shops. The model believes not a lot of people will be shopping at physical stores in the future so she is striving to establish her online shop as a household name that is a go-to place for style enthusiasts.Speaking on what informs her fashion sense, Inghalwa said that being in the fashion industry has exposed her to a lot of fashion designers who inspire her style. “I have been able to model for London Fashion Week and work with so many amazing fashion designers. Being in the midst of designers and models inspires me,” said Inghalwa. She announced that plans are at an advanced stage for her to start making and selling clothing for men as well. She shared that she has received a lot of compliments for her work from industry peers and they always suggest for her to start catering for men as well. “A lot is in the pipeline and clothes for men are definitely coming. I want to do it right so that I do not disappoint my clients but when the time is right I will tap into that space,” she said. The model added that she is overwhelmed by the support she has received ever since launching her shop. She revealed that she is looking forward to partnering up with local designers for joint fashion projects. “This week, Miss Namibia shot with our clothes and that means so much for me and my brand.”“There are local designers I am really keen to work with and I have already been in talks with them, it is just a matter of putting it on paper,” added Inghalwa. In an effort to grow her brand, Inghalwa recently signed a six-month contract with Versatile Media Agency to handle her public relations. She stated that she has been running the administration of her company all by herself and the time has come where she needs to get help where it is needed. “I do everything by myself but you know what they say, to succeed you need a solid team behind you. I am happy to have Versatile Media Agency on board,” she said. MICHAEL KAYUNDE
