haus of stone

Danayi Madondo is a force to be reckoned with on the Zimbabwean and African fashion scene. Her business, ‘Haus of Stone’ uses multidisciplinary methods to tell the story of the modern age African designs. We sat down with Danayi to talk about her journey to entrepreneurship; funding her fashion business; handling the uncertainty and instability of the Zimbabwean economy as a business owner; her latest showroom at Emagumeni Cultural Centre, Helensvale; and how she wants to go down in fashion history.

Her work has been seen on friend of the podcast, Gemma Griffiths, as well as Ammara Brown, Tamy Moyo and Shingai, to name a few. There’s a reason why Danayi is the go-to stylist for Zimbabwean artists - her works are exquisite, sustainably sourced and redefining Zimbabwean style.

Delve deeper with us on entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe and how collaboration is going to be crucial for us to claim our place on the world stage as Zimbabweans.
