ABOUT MANJU MSITA
Manju Msita is one of Tanzania 's most established and innovative designers. As a graphic designer turned-musician turned-fashion designer, Manju detests imitation, which he considers both plagiaristic and fraudulent. "I create authentic designs: from God to me, from me to my customer."
Manju's irresistible Afro-creations have proven to be the first, strongest and most effective antidote to the decades-long public apathy towards African attire. Through his company- Smart Afrika, sited at Mikono Art Complex near VETA, Dar es Salaam - Manju has unleashed a new kid on the block. Together with Afro-inspired kitchen party, send-off, wedding, office, casual and special-occasion wears, now come shoes beyond conventional fashion beliefs. Colourful is the new black and matching, to Manju, is the new world (fashion) order.
With his pieces now sparkling in all corners of the globe, Manju who launched his fashion career as an underdog in the late 1990s sees the step he made into the fashion world as nothing but a new beginning, and for him, the sky's the limit.
