PRESS RELEASE Dated 1 June 2007



FLAVIANA'S WARDROBE SAGA

First and foremost, we at Mustafa Hassanali Couture would like to congratulate Ms Flaviana Matata for performing well at the Miss Universe Pageant which is attributed to the young girl’s zeal, zest and support from her organisers, sponsors and the people who voted for her.

Flaviana prior to being a Miss Universe Tanzania 2007 had an opportunity to be cast to showcase our “Namaste” Collection in January 2007. Pictures of that Show were published in Issa Michuzi Blog amongst many others.

Since May 28 2007, the finals of the Miss Universe pageant, The Issa Michuzi Blog has been flooded with comments, remarks, feedbacks and allegation in regards to the Her Wardrobe, this has been intensified more so, since her arrival back from Mexico.

Mustafa Hassanali would like to clarify, refute and abstain from the following remarks:

“bora wangempa deal hassanali ila waliogopa bei si unajua these stingy idiots hu just think of themselves....” we Appreciate that, the Anonymous, thought of us…. But we would want to make clear, we design, create, construct and embellish as per the clients budget. All good and quality product does come with a price tag. “The biggest hindrance to creativity is budgets” Mustafa Hassanali

“Hivi kaka Michu,gauni lile"jeupe"ambalo hasa ndilo lilitukosesha sisi watz ushindi kwa"mwanamke wetu Flaviana"lilitengenezwa na"designer"wa kitz Hassanali au??Kama Hassanali ndiye alilitengeneza gauni lile"baya"adhabu yake ni kupigwa bakora hadharani,manake halikutoa kabisa dada yetulets me know kaka Michu,nani hasa alitupokonya ubingwa huu kwa kutumia hila ya kumpa auni baya"jeupe "dada yetu?” We hereby attest that Ms Flaviana Matata On stage evening gown, Official National Costume, Bikini, Pre-final rehearsal segment gown and her welcome home gown were NOT A MUSTAFA HASSANALI CREATION. Each designer has its own creative IQ which makes that their selling point. We respect it. As they say “one mans meat is another mans poison” Kwa Kiswahili “Mkia was Nguruwe………….”

“michuzi hakuna uzalendo wa kijinga tena la sivyo tutaacha kufagilia, wabunifu wa kibongo hawajafikia viwango kwa hiyo hakuna kuvaa nguo zao kwenye mashindano ya kimataifa la sivyo itakuwa aibu tu, vaeni nguo zao hukohuko bongo mkishatoka mnavaa nguo zenye mvuto zilizo kwenye international standardkwa lile gauni hata kumi bora wamempa sababu alikuwa unique and creative on her own beauty” we @ Mustafa Hassanali would like to inform the person who wrote this comment, That fashion designers just like other professionals have their Identity. I would like to enlighten the said person that its passion for our work, just like the rest of you, drives us for our daily livelihood. As they Say Charity Begins at Home, Ailinda Sawe of Afrika Sana is a Professional Designer and one of the first in Tanzania with a Degree. Ally Rhemtullah is another qualified designer from USA whilst Elly Mlaki studied in UK. The Late Kiiza Kahama studied in Paris. We Have So many professional DESIGNERS in Tanzania some who are trained and others are Qualified by Experience.

“Hivi ni nani aliye-design Night Gown yake?? Lile Gown lilikuwa baya kusema ukweli. Jamani Tanzania Designers wengi wabovu sana yaani hata tungemnunulia nguo kutoka Walmart angependeza sana kuliko lile gown baya. Angekuwa na Gown bomba angeweza kushinda. Lakini hata hivyo hongera sana Flaviana Matata.” As stated Earlier that it was NOT A MUSTAFA HASSANALI.

What Ms Flaviana Matata Wore during the pageant, had nothing to do with the Qualification status of designers in “Bongo” but its entire her own judgement, she is above 18yrs old, and that of her Organisation Miss Tanzania Universe.

Mustafa Hassanali did design two over the Top Evening Gowns for Miss Flaviana Matata as her personal wardrobe which was commissioned and paid for by Flaviana personally.
