MALIMANIA

“We wanted it to highlight the beauty and disparity of our people. Combining fashion with the Somali youth as one of our main goals. It’s important for us to support and empower each other and bring positivity through our content. We can honestly say that this has been one of the most exciting things we’ve done this year. We want to take a moment to thank all the people who were involved in this project”

“My mission was to capture this beautiful project with earthy elements inspired by the official photographer of COLD LAUNDRY, Alex Oghalé. This is one of my favorite shoots I’ve done and one of the greatest projects I’ve taken part in so far. I’m beyond thankful! 

The launch project of MALIMANIA received a positive reception and worldwide recognition on social media by the black and muslim community.”
