WAPI is a British Council forum that is a platform for visual and verbal artists in the underground, to showcase their art in pictures, words and now Fashion. Imani Int Model Management has come on board to add on fashion as a strong art within WAPI, thus giving opportunity to the young upcoming fashion creatives/designers, to showcase their talent during WAPI every month. We take the underground to mean the upcoming, the undiscovered, those who, by design or default, are not part of the mainstream. We believe that the underground in Kenya is a hotbed of activity and creativity, and we bring some of it to the fore for the discerning public through a regular (monthly) WAPI programme. Every month has a different theme that is relevant to current life situations. Artists exhibit works or perfom in front of an ever-growing audience drawn from all walks of life. Who can perfom and exhibit at WAPI? Anyone who can showcase an item or performance that is relevant to the theme of the month……besides fashion designers, WAPI has opened doors for poets, Emcees, graffiti writers, painters, dancers, animators, singers, acrobats and photographers. |
WAPI this month - Spans Of Time WAPI Archives - Previous Events I strongly urge any young upcoming fashion designer, who think they have what it takes, to contact me by sending me at least 3 images of their designs and a brief description of what inspires you to do what you do, in order to get a chance to showcase your designs during one of the upcoming WAPI's in sync with the theme each month. Every fashion designer that comes to showcase during WAPI is required to create/design according to the theme. Each participating designer will have an opportunity to show 2 pieces; a piece before the scheduled WAPI date, and another piece 'on-spot,' during the WAPI day. Both pieces will be cased by the models during the WAPI day. This month, WAPI will take place on the 23rd June, 2007 at the British Council, beginning from 9:00am all the way till 3:00pm. The theme this month is "Spans Of Time." If you or anyone you know would like to participate in WAPI fashion, kindly contact 0725-227-453 or 0721-219-564 Or email imanimodels@gmail.com for further inquiries |
