My Bulawayo got to sit down and chat with Anna she’s a singer actor and designer , and the founder of the brand Litso , which is a trendy clothing line. Which is Dearing , natural and aims to inspire young woman to step out side their comfort zones .
Describe your self in 3 words
Artistic , Endearing,Fun
What do you like most between acting , fashion and music
Its all intertwined I really can’t pick one over the other ,because they all go hand in hand
What are you focusing on right now
Im currently planning an event for later in the year , it’s still under wraps , but what I can say is that it will be along the lines of fashion and it might have a bit of music as well.
Currently what are you working on
I have a hand bag range , that’s coming out soon , They are three bags at the moment a mini travel weekend bag ,sling bag and envelope bag . They will be up on social media sometime this week.
Where would one purchase them from ?
Im looking to supply soon , for now one could just whats app me and I deliver , the prices range are very affordable from $20 up wards.
What are your summer predictions for 2016? What will be hot?
70’s loose dresses lots of scarves , bell bottoms , a lot of soft flowy fabrics and a lot of colour .
Things to note in 2016
I would say , Be natural , natural hair , looks, make up basically keep it natural
So currently how does your schedule look
Its busy quiet hectic , lots of meetings and forecasts for the year , basically planning for the year , so I wake up in the morning I’m up on whats app talking to people and finishing orders and in the evening I’m sketching I’m currently working on quite a few new projects .
Who inspires you
My Mom is my inspiration , she is my inspiration because she’s a strong woman , she likes nice stuff although she’s now laid back because she has told her self she’s growing older
Would we see her influence in your clothes and hand bags
Hand bags yes , clothes no , she’s more reserved than I am , clothes is more of me .
So where does the inspiration for clothes come from
It comes from music , my art is all intertwined , Litso is a persona , a musician or a performer . So when someone is dressed up in Litso it’s something you would wear on stage . Something that Beyonce and Rihanna would wear . Something that you would stand out in and look different in.
Tell us more about Anna the artist
For now the music side of things is quiet , im choosing to express my self through clothes . My music is on the back seat at the moment because my schedule is hectic , music needs all of your energy and time. You can’t just rock up to a studio with out having done your vocal training and getting inspired and prepared . But I did do a single with a good friend of mine Nic Cotter a few years ago though.
What type of genre would you place your music ? And can we expect anything new from you this year ?
R&B and soul , I’m a soul child . I might have a surprise for you later this year but for now the music side of things is not where my focus is .
Whats your favorite part of what you do ?
I would say my favorite part would be the five minuets of glamour that comes with the work that I do , The moment you sit down and you are watching your project which can be said is five percent of the work , for example when I see my things on the runway and people appreciating the hard work I would have put into the line . That’s my favorite part.
How often do you have fashion shows
Fashion season is usually in , the last quarter of the year , last year I only did two fashion shows , because I believe my brand is already out there . If I do fashion shows this year I would be travelling the SADC region.
Tell us something BYO doesn’t know about you ?
I’m an open book and I tell it how it is
Where do you see your self in the next five years
I see my self in the SADC region , I see myself married probably would have grown my family with one more child . I see my self running my business and being very family orientated
Thank you for sitting down with us
You’re welcome
