Yvonne Ndawana-Watadza launched the label Alpha Rose in 2006.The label specialises in women’s ready to wear, couture and bridal.
Alpha Rose design aesthetic is contemporary, feminine with a sophisticated elegance. Each piece is a celebration of womanhood.
Inspiration for the collections is drawn from the beautiful side of nature, the designer’s heritage, encounters with various cultures and occasional influences from previous fashion eras. Pieces from the collections are therefore a translation of diverse cultures, a love for textiles infused with the designer’s African heritage.
Alpha Rose recently showcased at the Clothing Indaba 2012, held at the Platinum Lifestyle lounge in Borrowdale and i had the honour of being present. Below are the shots that i took.
The Zimbabwe Clothing Manufacturers Association is partnering with the United Nations and other local organisations such as the Zim Trade and Zimbabwe fashion Council to bring you a clothing indaba, a first of its kind in Zimbabwe.
The event is happening from the 16th to the 17th of November, 2012 at Platinum Lifestyle Estate in Borrowdale from 8am to 8pm.
I've e-mailed Thandi for information on the registration process and i still haven't got a reply from her. If i finally get the info, i'll update.

The first day of the two day indaba will consist of plenary session where discussions on the importance of the clothing industry, dealing with cheap competition from cheap imports and competing in the global village, among others, will take place.
