Uduak Oduok Mini-Photoshoot with Rosemary Kokuhilwa, Tanzania’s Fashion Stylist and Fashion Blogger

I was in Los Angeles two weekends ago and while there, I met up with my fashion model friend Funmi Alayeimola who was visiting from New York. At the meetup, I also met the talented fashion stylist and fashion blogger Rosemary Kokuhilwa who is from Tanzania. I have seen Rosemary at many fashion shows at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week over time but we just said professional “hellos” to one another. So, I was pleasantly surprised when she asked to do a minishoot with me. I haven’t been in front of the camera for a while; just too busy. Anyway, check out a few shots. I need to share with you all my UC Davis School of Law Moot Court competition judging. I hope to do so soon.

Her love for all things fashion came into play immediately after she graduated from High school and started modeling for Faces International and working for M-Net Africa- Tanzania. This opportunity allowed her to gain experience from working on multitude of exciting assignments including Road shows for M-Net Rock Down Africa, Chanel O, M-Net Face of Africa, and styling for local runway shows.
