NAMA fashion meets style
The NAMA organising committee has identified the country's best designers and stylists to adorn the NAMA 2017 presenters.
The Namibian Annual Music Awards (NAMA) is creating an opportunity for local designers, stylists and seamstresses to inform the country and the rest the world of their talents, which consequently can afford them commercial recognition and allow them to soar to greater heights in the fashion business. The selected group of fashionistas is made up of six designers and they are complemented by three make-up artists and one hairstylist.
The NAMA's platform is provided to young and talented Namibians to showcase to the world their artistic works and allow them grow their careers.
The designers include Damage brand owner Nicoleen Menjono who designs for socialites, career women as well as weddings, and Melisa Poulton who has been in the industry since 2012 and became known as “House of Poulton by Melisa Poulton”. Her design style is based on the elements of earth and is based on the motto freedom, strength and independence. For the gents Eneas Ngiponoka, a stylish man who is not selfish in sharing his passion and love of smart looking lifestyle with others will feature. He believes that a man should be elegant with simplicity and that a man's look and way of dressing should speak for him. “That it should not be just a look but a lifestyle,” he says. Ruberto Scholtz, Ingo Shanyenge and Lumiere – The Lifestyle Avenue - will also have their garments graced on the stage by the presenters.
The makeup artists are Hannah Nangula-Kolokwe and Anna Hauwanga. Nangula-Kolokwe is a makeup artist with over eight years' experience in the beauty therapy industry. She shares her knowledge with aspiring makeup artists by tutoring them in her master classes that she hosts around the country.
Merino Kandjii is a hairstylist based in Windhoek and raised in the heart of Katutura. Merino has been a stylist since 1996. After four years of being a barber, Merino decided to study hair styling. Merino adds that good hairstylists will cut your hair in different angles, which will make it leaner and remove the excess volume, leaving a massive impression and look. Merino is a stylist who turns heads and brings out the inner glow.
