So could you give us when you're from your day to day, what is it that, what fashion tips could you give people since you are a lady? You give the ladies anasana and maybe one or two for the gentlemen. Ah, for the ladies I'll say just be unique. If you find you're comfortable in what you're wearing, just go out with this. Even if people talk about it, I think it's good to list standouts in what you're comfortable in. Yeah, even if it's unique. And then gents, for gents it's never, it's not so hard for them. I think they are caught so simple, not like the ladies. Yeah, so I find gents so simple. Yeah, but for us as the ladies, just put on anything what you feel comfortable in. Yeah, what you can work with in the streets. What you can work with in the streets. So if you're comfortable working in booty shots in the streets, you can do that. Yeah, I can do that, but if I'm comfortable, yeah, I can work with it. So I can see Biryana Meva, this is one of your designs, right? Where is yours? Really, how kufa, something to protect the brand? I felt comfortable in my own doing. Yeah, so I didn't put on his design, but I'll be showcasing their designs on that here. Yes. Okay, talk to us about that event that will be happening next Saturday. Okay, the event that will happen in Pale, Railways Museum, it's about me kubring up the young fashion designer to make a collaboration now. So because this industry must be collaborating to win one. Oh, really? Yeah, so to make a collaboration now, so it will be showcased in the Railways Museum, and the ticket will go for 500 only for single, for couple is 100, for 800, and for group of 5, 2000 only. Okay, all right. So what are your expectations from the event? Okay, I'll say I expect more exposure. Yeah, this I feel it's a good event and I I'm expecting they'll be sponsors who are not only going to sponsor the event, but they're also going to sponsor us as the models. So I'm expecting a lot of exposure. Yeah. Okay, now I have a brilliant, brilliant. What do you expect from the event? Okay, I expect more because I expect the event will be exposed to India. Is this the first event? This is the first event in a host, Cabriolet and Shagspark. Okay, okay. But to participate in the analysis? Yeah, in the others. What is the essence of showcasing your designs? Okay, now you showcase. Okay. And have you benefited from the other events that you may showcase? He'll call you back, come and admire design yako. So that's how we get client. Okay. Chiza, most young ladies, they think of modeling as a very simple career. Is it true? Is it as simple as it looks? Kus utonam to maybe, maybe they are like you, you're a fashion model. You go, maybe you're contacted by a clothing brand to do photoshoots for them, maybe say like Birian Chaks. And then when people see that, they think it's very easy and it's something that you can do. Is it as easy as people make it same? No. Why? It's not easy. For one, you have to invest in it. It requires a lot of money because you have to move around. Maybe the auditions, you have to go. And then you have to have a good work. You can't just go to an event. Of course, you have first to go for an audition. So they decide if they will take you, if your work is perfect. So I think if you're aspiring, I think it's a, okay, you must have a work first. Yeah. Yeah. If you don't have a work, I don't think they'll pick you and then confidence. Yeah. It requires a lot of confidence. Yes. So I think work, invest in aid and then confidence will do. So if you don't have that, I don't think you can make it. Does that apply to all models, fashion models, high fashion runway page pageant? Yeah. It applies to all of them? Yeah. Yeah. Because if it's pageant, you have to get money to invest in where, because you are going to design yourself, not like us, we are going to be designed. Yeah. All right. Interesting. Okay. So when it comes to fashion, what are maybe some of the things that you see are wrong when you work? I'm sure Ktembera, during the day you might see someone, what are some of the things that you have spotted, that you find wrong and should stop in 2019? Okay. People, most of the people, most of the pattern, pattern, they don't, our youth could be foreign, they pattern. Yeah. A butfati example? Like, when you are clashing, you think you must, you call and you will never, you must call and you will never be clashing. No. Okay. I mean, I do that too. You just call me and you will never be clashing. Yeah. Any other thing? Any other trends in your minor 2019 that should come to an end? I see your spots and I see your spots and I see you on the spot. On the spot. Okay. Tatwambia, Tatwambia, but die. What about you trees that connect to your Meshmods 2019 that you think should die when the year ends? Yeah. Before I see you putting on the old fashion clothes, I think they should stop. Which ones? How do you define old fashion clothes? I do want to mention, but I think. No, you kindly mention old fashion clothes, you know what you are thinking about what you are going to do? Educate people. I think putting on long dresses with high boots, high heels boots, I think it's old fashion. So, as I said earlier, if you feel comfortable in it, just hope. Just to wear it. Yeah, but for me, I think it's old fashion. Yeah. All right. I'm sure there are more new level, Tatwambia what. Yeah. Yeah. So, what are your hopes for Biri and Shak in the next few years? Okay, my hopes are in the future, I think I dream. I dream that I will showcase to Paris. Oh, okay. Paris Fashion Week. Kusuko, in Kenya, I don't see fashion week, but in Paris, in South Africa, I dream of fashion week. In Milan, Paris, yeah. So, I think if I showcase there, I think in the later, in Kenya, I dream of fashion week. So, I dream of fashion week. So, I dream of fashion week. I mean, I dream of fashion week. Yeah, but I dream of experience. So, I dream of fashion week. Okay, all right. What are your hopes for Biri and Shak and also for you as a fashion model? For Biri and Shak, I think whatever we are going to do on that day, I hope that they will get exposed as they are wishing for. And their clothes will be branded. Personally, I would want to be recognized. I know high fashion. It's not easy because you find they want taller girls and may have 5'4". So, it's so hard to penetrate in there, but I would really want to go higher. I want to be in outside countries. Yeah, I believe I can because I've been doing it. This is my second high fashion. Okay, nice. With my height, yeah, I can do it and I will go far with it. Not hard challenges when you go for auditions on a kumbe, we can't peak you because of your height. Okay, for one thing I always ensure, I have higher heels like 6'. So, they can boost my height than the others. And then sometimes you find they are not more into height, they are more into walks. And confidence. That's how you make it. All right, nice. So, could you give a word of advice to a young person who is coming up in the industry? I think for those fashion designers who are coming up, I think just be you. Fanya kitu enyona penda, kitu enyona ni. Kus, kuna zile discourage ming sana zenye, before fika elas mu discourage jive, you are designed as you can serve. Yeah. So, fanya kitu enyona penda, just be you. Okay, what about you Chiza? Any advice to upcoming fashion models? Yeah, I'll tell every model, just be confident. If that's what you want and that's your passion, go chase it, don't sleep on your dreams and also learn to work on heels. Yeah, that's another thing. You don't have to worry about your looks because nowadays you find the industry does not only focus on petite models, they're also picking class size. So your body, your height, your age shouldn't come, shouldn't bag you behind. You should just go for it. Okay. I have one last question. Is Birian Shack limited to women or men, or you just do designs for everybody? We design for everybody, for all genders, given what we do. Kila mtu, kila mtu kwa welcome. Yeah. Any particular designs zenye you into? Okay. Mostly ni kuna dil sana nankara. Okay. Nice. Please share with the viewers your social media pages. So when it's our tafuta, maybe check out what you have to offer. Okay. You can find me at Birian Bdoti on all platforms. On all platforms. I'm on the pale Facebook where like Birian Shack's page. Okay. What's your social media pages? On Instagram, it's Petit Kukkid. K-Y-U-K. Yeah. On Twitter, it's Bingo Kimbo. Yeah. Okay. So thank you so much for coming through. We wish you all the best in the upcoming event and also in your careers. Okay. Thank you for having us. Yes. So as you've heard from this young budding fashion designers and fashion model, don't limit yourself. Go for whatever you want. Go for whatever you passionate about.
