Thank you so much. Your camera is number four I always like to do this I like to give people the power in their hands to share their credentials. Okay my name is Kiranovia on Instagram my real name is Eve Minor. Yes but my fashion label is known as Eve Adams. My name and my late dad's name. Your name and your late dad's name in memory of daddy. Yes. Adams. Yeah. All right why didn't you pick Minor as the name to go with? Well I thought about the classiness of the. The classiness of the name. Yeah and Eve Adams sounded a lot. A lot more classier. Yeah. And you didn't want to be tribal with it also. No. No. A lot of people here Eve Adams they think it's like an international brand but it's just a Kenyan girl. It's just a Kenyan girl who makes the name with the late dad's name to come up with something special. Yes. All right so it's been a long time coming Eve and you've been designing for a while. Yeah. But this is not what you went to school for right? No. Actually I did but it was I already had the skill to soak clothing so what I wanted was just the exposure which the school was able to give me. Yeah which is known as Buruburu Institute of Fine Art. Of Fine Art. So here they train fashion designers, they train painters, they train all kinds of artists. All kinds of art yeah. All right Buruburu Institute of Fashion of Fine Art. Fine Art. Yes. All right so this is where you learnt the finer details in fashion. Yes. All right why did you pick this career because from what I know you went to media school as well. Yeah I always had a passion for design and clothing has always been a part of me ever since I was a kid. I used to pick out my clothes ever since I was like five. I always knew what I wanted to wear and when I grew it progressed into me thinking creatively about it. So I started now sketching and from sketching I decided let me now make the correct the outfit itself which I had a lot of support from my mom. I used to get material fabrics from her. So every time I sketch I would try to sew but hand sewing before I started using the single machine. The Singer. Yes. Singer is a classic. Do you have any other machines that are used by designers apart from Singer? Because my mom had one as well. I've never seen a different brand from Singer. It's actually Singer. The brand itself is known as Singer but the one they used to overlook clothing is still. Singer. All right so I've never seen any other brand. It seems they've stood the taste of time. I see some of your pictures on the screen right there. These are some of the fashion weeks or fashion events you manage to be part of. But that's you right there in pink and black. Yes. All right so I always see this. Once you're done with your showcase your models have worked the runway the designer comes out with our best models. What is it? That is like the best part because you know people get to see who is behind all the beauty and they appreciate the designer and then they now get to interact with you one-on-one. That is where people get to see the force behind what they have been seeing. Yes. It's that special time. I've seen fashion designers. Renown fashion designers do it. If we can rewind back to the white outfits where we have Eva or Kirinovia in glue. I'd love to see that. This one is also amazing. This is the same. Yes this is Nairobi fashion market. This is Nairobi fashion market. Yes. The venue dates. It's in Gong Rescos. I don't remember they did very well because it's a while back but it was one of my biggest platforms to ever showcase because it had. I love the outfits. I love the outcome. Thank you. The all white. Why did you pick white as a theme color for this? I actually drew my inspiration from Marilyn Monroe. I liked the white. Do you remember the iconic picture of her in the white dress? Yes so I picked that from her and I decided let me now create a collection of feminine clothing because I found that very feminine. I just like the way it's so ladylike. You can show your your feminine side. Your your your your your fierceness. All right so in Spadland Marilyn Monroe as iconic picture you did this for Nairobi fashion market. Yes. All right I like this. You dressed yourself as well because you also killed the game right there. I had to like break the monotony of white so I went with black and peach. Peach that is not fake. All right. Why is color blind here? We can rewind to the other picture where she where Eva is in blue. Yes as they find that picture you are telling me about sketching yeah. Yes. Sketching is an important aspect of fashion design. Oh yes. All right so nowadays the people who used to play piano they have an alternative of making beats from a computer. The people who used to who used to paint kind of paint on a computer or do the graphic design on computer does is sketching in fashion as sketching in fashion revolutionized like this. Do you have softwares for sketching? Well yeah there are certain softwares people usually use but I prefer the analog way of designing because you get to you decide your scribble it's really rough and raw when you do it on paper rather than on the internet. I've seen quite a lot of people using the the internet one the one you get to sketch and even add 3D or it's design yeah it's it's cute but I prefer the the original way of sketching because it makes you open up creatively in your mind. There's just something about the pencil. Yes. All right so you like to sketch the traditional way. Yes now you know it. One thing you didn't know from Kira Novia is that all the designs hand sketched. Love you about to know if they're handmade as well. Whitefifor channel on Twitter Whitefifor underscore channel on Instagram and Whitefifor on Facebook is the way to interact with us. Don't forget to leave the hashtag Queens Wednesday and the most important one is strength of a woman. You view your questions and suggestions are invited as well. So we have the picture ready and here is another white affair. What is it about white? I find white very soothing it's very calming and at the same time it looks angelic and it looks angelic. Yes I thought about the way the ladies would look on the runway before I sketched the outfits and I decided I was going to do a neutral color which is white and other designers were so jealous because they saw the outfits you're like wow this is something. All right so when you're preparing for a runway show do you like is it like making an album for an artist there's clothes have to be related. Oh yes because you think about the character you wanted to protect like for me I thought about femininity and the early 20s which is one of my biggest inspirations I love Vogue patterns Vogue are very old designers and the white outfits were really they were from back then the collection you're seeing there and I thought let me sketch each outfit as to what I would like to wear on a day-to-day basis. So most of these things are your taste. Yes this is something you'd wear on a Sunday maybe. Oh yes that's a jumpsuit or it's jumpsuit with a sweetheart neckline and I would wear that to a date. To a date. Yeah all right dates are really important to ladies ISE. It's always something I'd wear for a date. All right what about this other one with a slit? Yeah that's our red carpet it was my masterpiece actually and people really like they go to a magazine featured that and they are. Wow I like this. So I thought about the slit because I like Tony Braxton a lot. All right so this was inspired by Tony as well. Yes so I picked the model who was star at that time and her body is really really as you can see she's really petite and Tony Braxton is. So I was thinking how do I enhance features on such a petite woman so I thought about cropping the top and the slit. Details at least I see I see what you did there. Yeah all right so one thing I've noticed apart from you loving white so much is you loving petite models. Yes actually what is it with our our plus size sisters tell me today. Well it's not so much about how tiny a person because I can work with anyone but at the time the models I was getting were from an agency which has strict measurements and sizes for the models they want so I was working with those models at that time. So this is as per the standards of the of the event of the fashion event. Yes. All right it's not like killing over discriminating again. No no no I make clothing for all body types I have clients who are actually really big. All right yeah. So another question I've always had for fashion for a fashion designer I've always wanted to have this by the way so I can ask all these questions. So when we come from this point of what is it showcasing your designs is it limited edition or there is a face where now you transform it to mass production. Well it when you're done with the show there's usually one outfit that stands out the most. Like this one. I love this one. Rewind please. Rewind please. I love this one. The model is beautiful. Yes yes she is. The such a dress by the way I actually had to make this on order because people liked it so much and everyone was like that dress with the model who had the ponytail. So I knew who they were talking about automatically because I when I was creating this I thought it was a formal event gown and a lot of people like to wear simple outfits on events but still classy and outstanding. So when people started demanding for the white for that particular one. Yes I started making now in bulk and in different sizes because people come in different shapes. All right so they send them a ship. So it's not like you you go out and just make mass and shelf put them in shelves in shops you make by order. Yeah so that's why the runway is very important because after you showcase now you get the reception from the people. What people want. Yeah so when people go for a certain outfit that is the one you realize you have to make in. All right I've noticed people also don't like to walk into a venue and see especially I'm sorry to say ladies because for guys if I show up to an event and my my brother or my n-word is somewhere that with the same outfit as me I'll be like wow whoa I like this I like this but for ladies if they see if they see somebody with the same exact outfit they feel like ah why did I do this so how do you make them different because it when people make their orders yeah they want to stand out obviously how do you make this one different from the next one and going on and on and on to number one and read. So you know I usually get different type of people when it comes to clients there's a client who will come to you and they would want the exact thing they saw in the runway. They don't care. Yeah they want that I just want that the way it looks nothing changes but then there's another one who will come and they will sit down with them and they'll be like but I want this but I want this to change or I want you to add this and this so that's how you get to you know manipulate what type of clients do you prefer the one I want the exact one on the runway or I like it but I want this to to bounce a little bit more a little bit of both because I I like challenges but then I also like challenges that's why I like thinking outside the box so when someone comes and they challenge you and they want you to change something it makes you think what what can I possibly do to this outfit to make it different wow I love this so much yeah so it changes you your mentality you it makes you work I don't like put you to work all right so as a fashion designer the other the other what is it with other aspects of the industry that make fashion design what it is right here right now what are some of these things if somebody out there would like to exploit a career in fashion and they're not necessarily gifted in designing or stating like myself I've tried to stitch but create myself once 1000 times I know that's the hard part people usually don't like the sewing part of it but I would encourage them to love your tools that's what I say love your tools because you need those needles you need the single machine to create your masterpiece I didn't like sewing at first but with time I started enjoying it because you know you get to see what you're actually making and it's you know when you see your final product as an artist that is like the all right that is like the what from your face I can tell yeah you just feel like you've accomplished yeah so I would encourage anyone who wants to do fashion but don't have the expertise of sewing just go to school I did that all right but not because I didn't know how to my grandmother had the machine way before so I learned how to learn way way before it's a family of designers yeah but my question was really what are some of the other aspects of the fashion industry that somebody who's interested in fashion convention like say for an event like this one to be possible yeah what are some of the other people who are who are there to make it possible so okay fashion is the good thing about it is it's really wide so those are the things I'm looking for yeah photography is one yes photography is a huge and this you get to interact with models a lot yeah that's one of the parks about photography but then it also you get to make money from your skill of photography because people love photos and in this era fashion blogging has become a thing where you can't make the clothes and you don't want to learn how to make clothing but you want to be in the industry so you get to take photos of clothing that you find interesting and you know put them up on maybe your and review yeah I know you hate critics yeah yes because I actually go through the hassle of making this so when someone criticizes me I'm like why are they talking about something you've done for six months they sit down for 10 minutes yeah and write something about it yeah so we have the fashion critics as well yeah thank you designed by yourself as well yes all right so we have fashion critics yeah we have photographers there's no fashion without photography because we have to document this what else is there so there's also fashion is really weird like I said so there's also the supply we can name a few yeah supplies of fabrics you can go out there and scout fabrics like if you like to travel don't just go out there and don't you know check out the places where they actually sell fabrics because we have culture in fabrics so when you go to Singapore go to the clothing stores check out the fabrics bring them to buy them by the way and you'll make a lot of money you guys like to experiment a lot yeah all right so there's fabric there's photography there's makeup as well there's there's event organizing there's there's the media part of it there's the PR there's marketing there's lots and lots of things in the fashion industry if you'd like to venture the last thing I'd like to talk about is what were you doing in Spain and how was the experience well it was not really much in terms of the selling of clothing but it's just the experience of getting to see the different varieties of clothes yeah designers yeah and fashion yeah which city were you in Barcelona Barcelona Barcelona is the fashion hub yeah it is but not so much but they're getting there it's just like you know in Kenya we have a lot of people who are into fashion because it's a thing right now but they are actually on it it's like if you want
