Fashion and Medicine are not industries that usually go together. To the degree we hear about their intersection, it is usually because a fashion celeb or model has abused health laws and requires immediate medical attention.
For Tanzania’s Mustafa Hassanali, however, fashion and medicine share similarities, especially when it comes to the perseverance, diligence and skills it takes to be successful.Over four years ago, Mustafa quit his job as a doctor to become a fashion designer! Today he is one of the leading designers in East Africa and Tanzania’s top designer. Mustafa is one of the many African designers participating in Pan-African, Arise Africa Fashion Week currently taking place in South Africa.
In fact, his show takes place tomorrow Sunday, June 14th, 2009 at 6pm at the Pavillion Room, Sandton Convention Center in Johannessburg.
Ladybrille’s Uduak Oduok caught up with the ex-doctor in this exclusive to briefly discuss his participation and of course his boldness in quitting medicine for fashion!
