ABOUT WARIDI PABST SCHROBSDORFF
I am an African Fashion Voice, born in Kenya and a resident of Berlin for more than 25 years, project designer, mentor, former model and speaker. I founded FA254 in 2013 to further the training, expertise and exposure of emerging designers from Africa. Addressing the gap in the industry, the mission is to equip designers with the necessary tools and knowledge to understand the glamorous yet challenging world of fashion before stepping into it. Being unique, professional, and having an added touch of luck can make a difference in this industry.The original project, MTINDO, was born as a passion project to shift the conversation and craft a new portrayal of the African continent. The result of the meaningful collaboration between photographer Daniele Tamagni and myself became a powerful book published by Skira in 2016, featuring gorgeous photographs capturing a new generation of ‘style movers’ in Africa. I’m a contributor to Vogue since 2020 and a member of the German Fashion Council since 2019I now serve as a devoted mentor and consultant, enriching aspiring young talents in all creative fields to thrive and unlock their potential. I guide individuals, assisting them in navigating there unique paths to success.
