“No one tells an authentic African story better that Africans themselves, through my designs the west and the east merge to create a beautiful journey of various culture and heritage,” he explained.
Having studies Law Ngowi’s sentrance into design is not an accident but a choice made due to an unwavering obsession with fashion and a keen awareness of its power.

Ms Ngowi is NOT the first ever Tanzanian to be invited to the New York fashion week show.
That honor goes to Miss. Mpungwe, the daughter of Tanzania's former ambassador to South Africa, Ami Mpungwe. I can not recall her first name but I do remember her calling her fashion line Ifakara... in honor of her father's birthplace.
Ohh yes ANISA MPUNGWE...
