Growing up, I lived and breathed all what Carrie Bradshaw thought, wore and said. I had a stylish cast and was African culture beautified. I love this film because it was based on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s book of the same title. How we can just about achieve anything we set our minds to.
While this movie may be fictional, it constantly reminds me of how powerful each of us is. It continually amazes me what humans have achieved and can achieve. I am a strong believer in human potential.
My life goals are all in this documentary. I watched this film when I was just setting up my own business and it provided great inspiration especially her sense of belief and passion for her new magazine despite opposition from others. She’s a great visionary and trend setter. It gives a behind-the-scenes look at how she launched her new magazine in America. This documentary on Vogue France editor-in-chief focuses on her life, fashion inspiration and career. While this year I have slacked on catching up with the latest films, I have a couple of favorites that I re-watch severally.
In fact my criteria for whether, I will watch a film, is based on the stylishness of the characters. I love films, and I especially love ones with stylish and power women. Ever wonder what your favourite fashion designer is curling up on the sofa to watch? We asked Own Your Culture Founder, Chep to list her top five films and her selections are great for these dreary Nairobi nights.
