Nandi Mmgoma adds African Essence to Legit
"In My Skin" is the new clothing range by Nandi Mngoma
in collaboration with Legit. ZAlebs chats to Nandi to hear more about
this new project she has embarked on with Legit.
A lot of people have been complimenting TV presenter and musician Nandi Mngoma for her fashion style.
Her German-cut has also inspired other young people to cut off their
hair and look more African, Nandi has always believed that people need
to feel comfortable in their own skin. To such an extent that she even
wrote a song titled In my skin.
Her Pan African style has not only impressed but also caught the
attention of Legit fashion store bosses who have recruited her as the
new Legit brand ambassador alongside the likes of Dineo Ranaka and DJ Zinhle.
Nandi Mngoma recently launched her summer range with Legit and it ha is receiving quite a positive response from the public.
ZAlebs reporter Siphelele Buthelezi interviewed her to find out more about her latest project.
Congratulations on your endorsement deal with Legit and thanks for representing Durban.
Thank you so much! I'm humbled. It's a great feeling, I'll always be a Durbanite and make my city proud.
We've been stalking your Instagram account since the Legit
ambassador announcement and you look absolutely amazing. Please tell
us more about your latest deal with Legit, how did it all come about?
I was blessed to get a call in the beginning of the year from the
Legit team who were excited to work with me to create a new range for
the summer. And like the say the rest is history.
How would you describe your clothing range in terms of the style?
The clothing range is an extension of who I am but more importantly a
reflection of our beautiful continent. We want to make sure that every
girl feels like an African Queen when they wear my range.
I'm in love with African tropical prints and chocolate tones as well
as new trends like kimonos, matching sets and flirty florals which
reveal the sexy, feminine side of me. Like I've always said I'm a
simple African girl who loves clothes and loves feeling good in their
own skin. For the first time I'm introducing a swimwear range, it’s the
first time that LEGiT is doing this. I'm also offering a range of shoes,
accessories and bags that continue this festive celebration of all
things summery and that all girls should feel good in their skin.
How long will your clothing range last at Legit?
My range is for the whole of summer my favourite season, from November to the end of January. It's going to be a great summer.
Who is your favourite designer locally and internationally?
King David Tlale
who I also worked with on some of the couture pieces he created for the
Legit music video "In My Skin". He's proudly African, breaking
boundaries, different,bold and strives to be recognized globally. In
many ways I can relate to him.
What is your best clothing item in your wardrobe and what is the most expensive clothing item you have ever bought?
My best clothing item is also one that I would consider the
least expensive but very valuable to me because of its history. It's my
mom’s gold belt that she wore when she was my age, she passed it on to
me and I absolutely love it!
