So let's dive right in to our talk with the beauty and the brains behind Adzani, our dearest Namira Adzani!

1. Hi there! First of all why don't you tell us a bit about yourself? You can start by completing this sentence, “My name is Namira Adzani and I'm……”

My name is Namira Adzani, 21 years old, and I'm majoring in Marketing at Prasetiya Mulya School of Business and Economics.

2. How did you first became interested in modelling?

I joined GoGirl! Look in 2008 (7 years ago) and alhamdulillah was chosen as a finalist and a 3rd Winner at a very young age (I was only 14 years old at that time). At first I wasn't interested in the modelling industry but then my father forced me (it's kinda weird) to register the competition. Until now, I don't know why did he ask me to do so but it turned out very well till now and that was the best decision I've ever made in my life :-)

3. If you could walk for any designer in the world who would it be?

Elie Saab obviously! His works are just amazing, the details, and all..

4. Do you have any advice for the girls out there who are just getting started with their modelling career?

Hmmm.. for advice I think you just have to be yourself and show them what you've got and simultaneously you will have your own colour and it will make you survive in that industry!

5. What is a quote you live by?

 "Treat others as you want to be treated."

6. Describe a perfect day for you!

My idea of a perfect day is a day where I can just relax and have nothing to worry about. Just me, myself, and I looking around without a bothering thought about work, no pressure. It's very simple, but it seems perfect for me at this time. 

7. Which do you prefer, mountains or beaches?

I thought I was a mountain kind of person, but then I had a trip to Kawah Ijen with my friends and it felt so wrong, I was happy but didn't get the feel! From then I realised, I prefer beaches :") When I'm in a beach, I feel much more myself.

8. What’s the story behind your brand, Adzani?

I was so confused, what's the most suitable name for my brand. But then my friend came up with an idea, "Nam kenapa ga Adzani aja?" Then I agreed :") and i think it suits my brand so well, because most of my designs describe me a lot!

9. Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

From what I see on magazines, TV, and all but I try to do a modification from what I saw

10. What are the ups and downs of running a business?

My business just ran for 2 months, and it runs smoothly :') The demand is unexpectedly high, but honestly I began to be overwhelmed, because I almost do everything by myself! Thank god, my mom and my brother help me a lot! So at least some of my works can be handover to them.

11. What is number one on your wish list?

Make my parents proud and send them for umrah

12. If you could go back in time and meet your high school-self, what would you say to her?

Enjoy your time! Don't waste it!

13. What song is currently on repeat?

Love letter by R. Kelly & Kaila by Mayer Hawthorne

14. What are the things that you can't leave the house without?

Lipstick & Handphone

15. What’s next for you?

Make a website for Adzani, join events, aaaaaand graduate from Prasetiya Mulya next year! But the most important, I hope everything I do will make my parents happy and proud!
