Thursday, March 6, 2008

( Samata Angel in one of her original designs )

British born Ghanaian designer Samata Angel of Samata’s Muse has been doing big things since our last update on her. If you didn’t know, Samata was Concrete Loop’s first ever ‘Designer Spotlight’ feature.

Here is the latest: Her clothing line, Samata’s Muse, has been featured in numerous fashion shows, she is working on a new book, a show and she recently announced that she was appointed as the official ambassador for the national ‘Girls! Make Your Mark campaign’. Make sure you keep reading get more info on what she has been up to.

Girls! Make Your Mark official ambassador

As stated, Samata has been appointed an official ambassador for the national Girls! Make Your Mark campaign. Girls! Make Your Mark is a campaign to encourage more young women to have ideas and make them happen – either through running their own business or social enterprise or by making an idea happen at work.

The campaign is brought to life through the inspirational stories of young people, which is why Samata Angel has been chosen as she is already making her idea happen by launching her clothing line Samata’s Muse and forging forward with her career in true style.

SAMATA INTERVIEWED BY BET

Samata was recently interviewed by BET On Blast and is currently pitching a fashion show for the BET UK network. Wish her luck!

Samata is a good look for BET – it’s just launched in the UK and needs someone who is hot right now. To be honest there was not that much of a buzz about the content because they are importing a lot of shows from the US like College Hill – it would be wise of them to tap into some of the important people on the scene right now like Samata, Kano…maybe SWAY.

14.

Yeah I agree – Sama is making moves – is she hosting a show for them?

LMAO@ Cassie….true enough point though.

22.

P

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

They got some big names on board – in the UK Estelle, Jamelia and Alesha Dixon are probably as big as it gets in the music scene and Samata IS the fashion scene with a pretty black face so she is marketable – let’s be honest. Estelle did well to be there so people don’t accuse her of selling out to the US….lol

23.

CP

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

Shout out Concrete Loop for keeping your grizzly fingers on the pulse. This girl is THE one to watch in the UK fashion scene – her work is hot

24.

If

Thursday, March 6, 2008 /

I don’t know if the US channel will do well without certain people on board from the UK in the fashion and music scene – they have to bring UK talent on board to show us respect.

You really are an inspiration and I love you. You are on your way to big things (when I went on this page the first song in my mind was T.I. “big thangs poppin!!!”) and you have worked so very hard to come to this point.

Keep being the independent and strong woman you are. Keep your mind focused!!! I will continue to watch as you progress but one question..where are my over the knee boots….I have been looking for a pair and remembered you had designed some hot ones!!!!!!!!!!! xo

@ elisha - you mean she has a beauty you can relate to? Are you chocolate skinned like her? Probably if we had more stars like her - or more of an even spread between the Cassie, beyonce, alicia keys and the tweets and Samatas then young black girls would try to emulate the right type of success not become music video stars or be Diddy’s Jumpoff….
