Tanaka vengere

I am a Zimbawean-born creative currently studying for a BA Honours in Fashion. I'm a bit of chaos, magic and poetry. I endeavour to explore the complexities, imperfections, pieced-togetherness, ambiguity and ultimately beauty of identity from a quirky, queer, Afro-eccentric perspective. I am passionate about textiles, creative design, pattern making, graphic design, costume design, styling and visual merchandising. my design practice embraces deconstruction, eclecticism, maximalism and ethnic aesthetics. I utilise improvised applique, patchwork, and embroidery to embellish my work. I would like to develop my craft and work within a stimulating environment. in future I would love to create made-to-order garments, costumes, fabrics, textile artworks and visual displays that embody celebration, imprecision, beauty and storytelling.
