Her Big Day: Best of Both Worlds Production by Nansare Consolata - 2016 Her Big Day Wedding Show Fashion Stylist

We are beyond excited to have Best of Both Worlds Production by Nansare Consolata at Her Big Day: A Cultural Wedding Affair. Nansare Consolata is a native of Kenya who specializes in event planning with an educational purpose. Her company, Best Of Both Worlds Productions, is known for its unique intergration of African wear with contemporary urban flare. This sort of African fusion is what you will be witnessing on the runway as she shows off African fashion that you can find at an African wedding.

We love the story behind the creation of Best of Both Worlds. Dissatisfied with the lack of cultural events in the Greater Seattle’s African community, Nansare took the Mahatma Gandhi quote “you must be the change you wish to see,” and she applied it. As a student at Highline Community College, she was an active leader in the Black Student Union where she was inspired to actively participate in her community. It all started with teaming up with Wyking Garrett, who, at the time, sat on the Umoja Festival board of directors as the Vice President. Wyking was very encouraging and supportive of Nansare’s goals. Her first platform was at the 2005 Umoja Festival; the show was a success and was covered by the Seattle Times Newspaper the following year. In addition to her community activism, Nansare has produced many fashion shows for various events: Seattle Central Spring Bling, Festival Sundiata, Mwangaza Jitegemee Foundation, Igbo day Celebration, Spirit of West Africa, community basketball tournaments and many more..

Nansare is a fashion stylist who believes we are not all born the same; our differences make us unique. Her vision is for people to walk away from her cultural awareness fashion shows with a greater understanding of the African culture and the influence it has on western styles. She hopes her audience will also walk away with new ideas on how to integrate traditional African clothes into their wardrobe and an increased consciousness of how and what clothes communicate; values, identity and culture.

At Her Big Day: A Cultural Wedding Affair you will get to see fashion represented from Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya and more as curated by Best of Both Worlds Production.
