Jola Naibi

Writer and amateur photog. I seek to inspire and inform with the words I write and share and the photos I take. I have written a book of short stories: Terra Cotta Beauty, and I am working on a lot more. Reading and writing fuel my energy. In reading, I explore this vast and diverse world, in writing, I employ my over-active imagination and address the 'what-if' questions that life often throws at us.

Mataano

By jnadmin2 on September 18, 2010

Mataano which is the Somali word for ‘twins’ and it is also the name of the fashion label created in 2008 by Somali-born twin sisters – Idyl and Ayaan Mohallim. Their Spring Collection was presented last week during the New York Fashion Week at an unusual setting for a fashion show – the Museum of Biblical Art. That type of ‘Out of the Box’ thinking is bound to serve them well. Upcoming presentations of their Spring 2011 collection will be seen later this month in Ethiopia and Nigeria
