Romance in creation. I love the power of ethnicities, of cultural permeation and the strength in womanhood. Two lovely ladies from the Kingdom of Swaziland, Dumile & Tivamile Dlamini, that I have grown to know through my time in Taiwan and the US, are going to partner with me in creating costume. We are going to play with different ideas and connect painting,writing, music and dance with fabric and clothing design to bring 'Dream Realms' to life.
Check out their blog (http://lihiya.blogspot.com/) for a look at some of their very elegant fashions and event updates. This is a quote from their personal writings:
'The word LIHIYA is a siswati word for COVERING. Our hope is that we would serve as a covering for women that are devoted to get out of poverty and continue to present a platform that will speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.'
