Congolese designer, Adriana Talansi’s dream became reality in 2014 when she launched her first collection  “Simple and Sublime” in Angola.

She remains inspiring young ladies in her home country to follow their dreams especially in the fashion world by breaking barriers most designers in Congo have not dared to. Her fashion house TALANSI has become a fast rising fashion brand in Congo.
