Johannesburg will host the premiere of Bridgerton season 3, and among the attendees is Namibian television personality, entrepreneur and children’s show creator and co-founder of Windhoek Fashion Week Luis Munana, who will make an appearance on Saturday.
Munana, known for his recent film work, expressed excitement about this opportunity to expand his network and collaborate with industry professionals.
In an interview with
VIBEZ!, he expressed enthusiasm for the event, highlighting the significance of being invited to such a prestigious occasion.
“Getting an invitation to Johannesburg and appearing at this event signifies recognition. It shows they value what you bring to the table,” he said.
His aspirations go beyond mere appearances, as he is keen on connecting with producers and directors to further his projects in front of the camera.
“Meeting established figures from Africa and around the globe presents a great opportunity for collaboration,” he said, adding that the theme for the event is ‘Regency Era’, featuring old-fashioned glamour and style. Munana eagerly anticipates seeing the diverse interpretations of this historical theme by attendees from across the world.
Bridgerton is an American historical romance television series created by Chris van Dusen for Netflix. Based on the book series by Julia Quinn, it is Shondaland’s first scripted show for Netflix. It revolves around an eponymous fictional family, and is set in the competitive world of Regency-era London town during the social season in the early 1800s, where young marriageable nobility and gentry are introduced into society.
The following weekend, Munana will be attending the GOP party as a special guest in Mozambique. The party usually celebrates influential Africans in Africa and the diaspora.
“I am once again wondering if it’s a coincidence that I am attending two big events in the same month. What I am looking forward to most about the Mozambique greatest party of all is the fact that it’s my peers who have achieved so much. Last year, it was held in Ethiopia. It is going to be exciting because, as Africans, we are starting to do big events. Back then, it was difficult for Africans to be under the same roof at the same event; each country would do its own thing, but now that gap is being bridged.”
Munana further said being a special guest says a lot about him being in the right direction and he must continue pushing and continue
hustling. But what he’s looking forward to most is taking his products there and being able to network and talk about what he does in the different spaces, and finding new avenues.
He further encouraged everyone that consistency is key as you may never know who is watching, and one day someone will knock on your door and ask if you can collaborate.
