This weekend I attended a huge fashion event and managed to sign a new designer to our Fashion Agency - Moda Africa. While doing all of this I was in fashionista mode...by 7pm I was home and putting my kids to bed, in mommy mode!
I’m a fashionista and a business woman, I work but, I’m also a wife, a daughter and a friend, but most important I’m a
mommy. I can go from playground to fashion event in 30 minutes, from Havianas
to stilettos in a nanosecond and from casual to glam in a flash! I can
transcend from mommy to glamorous with the swipe of a red lipstick…
I always
find it quite funny and sometimes amazing how effortlessly I switch between
“mommy” and “fashionista”...dealing with dirty little hands and faces,
changing nappies, singing nursery rhymes, doing ABC’s and counting 1-20...to fashion styling, fashion blogging, putting trends together organising and
hosting fashion events and workshops, attending runway and fashion shows plus running a fashion business!
Juggling
different roles and responsibilities with each “personality” has become second
nature and I often chuckle to myself and think if the “fashion pack” could see
me now... playing in the park with my son or sitting on the floor in his playroom
playing cars or up with my daughter at 2 or 3 in the morning…not so glamorous
then! But, always conscious of fashion…I might be in casual clothes and
Havianas or even pyjamas but I will always be stylish and comfortably fashionable…
This made
me think of multiple personality disorder but with fashion and fashion
personas…so I came up with the term “multiple fashion personality disorder”
where you change from one personality to another so effortlessly you don’t even
know you doing it! Anna Wintour once said “you either get fashion or you
don’t”…I get fashion, always have and hopefully always will, but to my children
I will always be only Mommy and that is just perfect!
