Not enough days in 2018 for busy bee Lady Zamar

Time running out for muso’s plans

- By Kyle Zeeman

Musician and fashionist­a Lady Zamar has scrapped her plans to launch a fashion label, telling Sowetan sister publicatio­n TshisaLIVE that instead her fashion fingers will soon make their mainstream debut in an upcoming collaborat­ion.

Lady Zamar has been dominating the radio charts with her hits but has often also taken over the trends list with her fashion decisions.

She decided to launch a fashion range, revealing the plans for Pin Naple late last year, but has since had to return to the drawing board with the idea.

“There is a part of it that people will still be exposed to but for the most part there has been a change in business direction,” she said.

“I am a businesswo­man and if I feel that something is not going to work, I will redirect it. I am working on clothing projects that may take a while for me to reveal but it will be worth it.”

Even the name of the label has changed in the refocus as she tried to move towards something different than before.

Although she was tightlippe­d on the collaborat­ion, she said people would be surprised by it, adding it would be as brave in its approach as she is.

“It takes a lot of courage to know that you might be ridiculed and still try be you. I think I have grown a thick skin and now I am feeling more confident in myself and who I am.”

This was also the year that Lady Zamar was set to release her reality show, which she has been shooting for more than a year.

She said that lack of time was to blame for the delays.
