ABOUT MANYARA COLLECTION
Mustafa Hassanali evokes
his childhood memories which has inspired Mustafa Hassanali Autumn/winter 2016
collection Aptly Named “Mustafa’s Manyara”
Lake Manyara is a
shallow lake in the Natron-Manyara-Balangida branch in Manyara Region in
Tanzania.Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high
Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is
a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I
had seen in Africa”.
The compact game-viewing
circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. The diversity of
species in one habitat coexisting in harmony is breathtaking. Whilst crocodiles are seen basking on the
lakeside, with some in a fierce territorial fight, others waits patiently
for their meal. On the other
side of the lake, the flamboyant flamingos; gregarious wading birds; are
preening, wading and
displaying their strikingly contrasted colours. Both species are beautiful in
their own way, existing
together in their natural habitat in harmony.
That’s the beauty of
nature and wildlife that epitomize harmony between the weak and the strong.
The balance between the
predator and the prey is just simply amazingly breathtaking. From such surrounding
we can learn a lot, one only just has to look deeper and closer.
The Lake Manyara offers
fabulous inspiration, giving styles an exotic look that conveys nature and
wildlife message of harmony.
Pan African designer Mustafa Hassanali is thus bringing this nature’s wonder
to the runway as Mustafa’s
Manyara. The autumn/Winter collection comprises of amalgamation of colours hues of swampy greens,
flamingo pink, black and gold.Continuing with Mustafa’s love affair with animal
prints, the crocodile and snake print reignsupreme. This jungle-inspiration
takes a fashionable walk on the wild side making it perfect for those who
enjoy living on the wild side
of exotic, vibrant and Vivacious life.
