Zaverya Luciano
(Dar es salaam)

My name is Zaverya Luciano, fashion designer from Tanzania. I started to design since when I was very young in 2017. I got a chance to participate in the Bongo style competition and became one of the top three. And in 2021 I participated in Swahili Fashion Week under the Washington Benbella Emerging Designer?s Competition (WBEDC), where among the ten finalists I become the winner. That was my first award from Swahili Fashion Week and Awards where it?s when my journey as a designer continued and I started my brand called Zaverya Luciano Tanzania. My brand is inspired by the African, Swahili culture and the mix of modern style. Despite being a designer, I am also a student of law at Tumaini University Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
