well I
personally couldn’t believe it myself, but before I said anything ,I wanted to
be sure ,because over here at Missie Popular ,we are all about FACTS! And today
I bring you all the facts concerning this controversial dress. On the 26th of January I managed
to run into Mac ,who is the designer for this dress,we had a quick talk after
he had showcased at the “MY SKIN MY PRIDE” fashion show hosted by Brigitte
Alfred foundation . Mac shared a lot concerning this dress, and after this Post
,Trust me all your questions concerning this dress will be correctly answered .
THE
TWO YEARS OF MAKING THIS DRESS.
This was a big question
to all, when people heard 2 years ,some say it was Dramaaaaa,but Mac himself explained
what the 2 years meant ,people should understand before a dress is done there
are processes to go through like studying
,Planning and designing the dress, finding the right fabrics and right
materials to go with the dress ,because one thing is for sure Tanzania
faces a great shortage of great fabrics and materials ,so most materials are
imported from abroad like Turkey. Apart from all this, in making the dress some
mistakes can occur and that means you start all over again. See people!!this is
what 2 years mean.
The
purpose for the dress
After seeing this dress
some asked what was the whole purpose of this dress? Mac explained that the
dress was made as symbol of a MASSIVE YEAR ,like the dress itself appears to be
huge.2018 will be a Massive year for Mac as we expect to see more of his
creative works and The Launch of his store in Dar es salaam ,Maybe Mac will
showcase at SFW 2018 and other fashion event.what we can say is “Mungu atupe
uzima”
THE
PRICE OF THE DRESS
Before I say the price just know that ,designers
face a great challenge in setting a price for their work ,Even Ally Remtulah
once said “its hard to put a price on creativity” so people should know
Tanzanian Designers go through a lot of trouble in their work ,The Wema Sepetu
dress comes at a price range of 3 Million Tanzania shilling ,before you say “its
expensive” just know that you are buying a dress made of pure creative Talent ,with
fabrics that are imported and its custom made .so before Judging just try
wearing the shoes of these designers so you can understand the true value and
work put into these masterpieces.
Apart from just talking
about Wema sepetu’s dress ,I dug a bit deeper
into getting to know Mac couture ,it’s no doubt that 2017 was the year that we
all got a chance to know Mac couture ,especially when Jokate put on the
gorgeous blue dress, which today Mac acknowledges it ,as being among the dress
that took his name places, Till today he receives orders from different parts
of the world all referring to the blue dress.
Mac designing inspiration is driven from
The Arabs,he describes the Arabs as being elegant, fancy, luxurious and Rich
,where they always look for the best quality of everything .This made me
understand why Mac goes through all the trouble of wasting two years on just
ONE dress, Its because Mac wants to make the BEST!! Not just making anything .This
Taught me one thing concerning Tanzanian designers most upcoming designer lack
research and are afraid of taking risks .we all want Tanzania fashion industry
to advance, hence we need to Invest more in it,from
models,designers,stylist,photographers and bloggers etc….
What Mac is
doing is bringing class to the industry and being an example to others ,so
before we criticize ,lets first acknowledge his great impact to the industry.All
the best Mac we cant wait to be part of your Massive year .
