Words From Designer
I have always believed I inherited the love for art from my father who is a
renowned painter and sculptor his work can still be seen in the Ethiopian national
museum. Of the many, the life size sculpture of King Minilk 2ndand St. Yared are
my favorite, if I had to pick, the female farmer seen at the gate of Ethiopian
Exhibition Center is also one of his famous works that he gave to his country. I
have managed to organize a fashion show at San Jose, CA in 2013 and after
coming back to Addis after living In America for 5 years I have managed to
participate in 3 different fashion shows in a 2 year period of time.
My dream is to use my God given talent to teach the youth of Ethiopia the art of
design and impel the industry to a level that will surpass countries who have
invested a lot in this sector.
