Nónó Moda: NónóModa is a business made by a mother and a daughter in love with African prints. We make anything you want with the right African taste.
APiF: When and why did you start designing with African Prints and Fabrics?
Nónó Moda: About 3 years ago, when I finished my fashion design studies, I started to build my own collection inspired by Africa. People loved it so much that we continued using African fabrics.
APiF: How do you market your designs and how do you make them accessible to a global audience?
Nónó Moda: We have costumers from around the world – especially from Angola, London and France – and since we are on facebook, people from all around the world are getting to know us.
APiF: What is your favorite piece in your current collection?
Nónó Moda: The blazers and the jumpsuits because they are a clear example of what we stand for: Classic and European pieces in African prints. This showcases to everybody the beauty of Africa.
APiF: Any tips for new designers/start-ups in the fashion industry?
