Meet the prolific Designer: Foxy Ginnah

Georgina Kandjeke, 27, is one of Namibias most prolific fashion designers  that creates beautiful clothes that tell a story. The process of creating a new clothing range mirrors the art of storytelling, meaning the art of storytelling is similar stitching.

Fashion designer and founder of Foxxy By Foxy Ginnah says she gets most of her inspiration from her 80 year old grandfather. The designer believe she is destined for this industry. “Pursuing my passion is the best decision I’ve ever made, it is a road of constant learning and growth and I love the support I’ve gotten.”

Her  first major project as a designer  was when she Designed a collection for Windhoek Fashion Week. Alongside gracing the Windhoek Fashion Week stage, Georgina has also won a SYMLAFA award from Simply You Magazine for Favorite Fashion Designer in 2019.

The designer explains that she does not have normal days. “There’s nothing normal about my days. Most nights I sleep at 4 a.m and I’m up by 6 a.m. I’m constantly working and shopping for fabric and doing fittings. It’s hard to just even get time to simply eat cause there’s always a dress that has a deadline.”

The designers adds, “I love this industry and I’m so happy and grateful for the constant support from Namibians. It’s a road of constant learning and growth and I couldn’t have chosen a better career than to create beautiful gowns that women can look absolutely gorgeous in.”

Georgina aims to convey femininity through simplicity to perfect her art and to go international.
