About Audra
Hi, I’m Audra—a self-taught clothing and jewelry designer with a lifelong passion for fashion. Originally from Harare, Zimbabwe, I’ve spent over 30 years living and working across Africa, Europe, and America, immersing myself in the vibrant world of fashion.
- What I Do: Create unique, stylish designs that blend global influences.

Fashion isn’t just my job—it’s my story, and I’d love to share it with you!
My Fashion Journey: From Zimbabwe to the World
My journey in the realm of fashion commenced in Harare, Zimbabwe, where I first embraced my passion as a designer of children's clothing. Collaborating with prominent clothing manufacturers, I immersed myself in the intricate design and production process, mastering the art from initial concept to final creation.
After departing from my cherished Zimbabwe, I relocated to England, where I evolved into a fashion buyer, overseeing luxury boutiques and meticulously curating exquisite collections. Now residing in America, I am embarking on a new chapter, fusing my diverse global experiences into a distinctive and innovative creative vision.
Highlights:
- Designed children’s clothing in Zimbabwe, mastering the full design-to-production process.
- Managed luxury boutiques as a fashion buyer in England.
- Currently building my own fashion brand in America, inspired by my multicultural journey.
Let’s create something extraordinary together!
My Passion for Fashion
Growing up in Zimbabwe, I was inspired by the vibrant creativity and artistry of its people and culture. As a natural-born creative, I’m drawn to color, texture, prints, and design—elements that fuel my passion for fashion.
My love for travel has taken me across Africa and beyond, where I’ve discovered the beauty of off-the-beaten-path communities. Each place has its own unique style, from Zimbabwe’s traditional Chitenge wraps to India’s elegant sarees and Kenya’s striking Maasai attire.
These experiences have shaped my artistic vision, blending global influences into my work. Fashion, for me, is a celebration of culture, creativity, and connection.
Key Inspirations:
- Zimbabwe’s Chitenge: A versatile rectangular cloth that can be styled in various ways, commonly worn by women
- India’s sarees and salwar kameez
- Kenya’s Maasai tribal wear
- Japanese Kimono
- Scottish Kilt
Fashion is more than clothing—it’s a story of identity, heritage, and artistry.
