Zim designer breaks into Hollywood


UK­ based Zimbabwean fashion designer has broken into Hollywood. It all started with a picture Adel Kaseke uploaded on Instagram. 

And Hollywood came calling. The first to get in touch was Brely Evans who was part of the star­studded cast of the 2012 movie “Sparkle” that also included the late Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks.

The curvaceous Brely also featured in The Man in 3B (2015) and Just Wright (2010). She is currently part of the American drama television series Being Mary Jane.Kaseke, who owns a clothing label called Curvy Swan, told the Daily News on Sunday that she never ceases to look book at how her break into Hollywood came about.

“That was a surreal moment. I made a certain dress in October last year and I wore the dress and hat and it was on my Instagram. In no time I was in contact with Brely Evans…She loved my design and asked if I could send her some samples,”Kaseke said.“She loved them.

She first wore one of my pieces late last year which was a skirt on a red carpet where she was host of a show. She was interviewing the likes of Meagan Good (actress). “It was amazing to see her on the red carpet and on stage wearing my skirt,” she remembered.
