Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican designer H\u00e9lio Manjate, better known as \u201cLuxury Recycle\u201d, has told the BBC he feels like he is \u201cflying on a spaceship\u201d after getting a top fashion accolade for the second year running.<\/p>\n

He scooped International Stylish Icon of the Year at the industry award ceremony in Ghana\u2019s capital, Accra, at the end of April. He was up against 50 other African artists at the Ghana Style Awards.<\/p>\n

The stylist said that the award was important as it put him on a global footing \u2013 and gave opportunities to others in Mozambique, where high-end fashion is in its infancy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m opening a space for other creatives to showcase their work internationally,\u201d he told BBC Focus on Africa radio\u2019s Veronique Edwards.<\/p>\n

He says that the job that really marked out his career was co-styling a video for DJ Tarico, a Mozambican artist, that featured Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that is my biggest work\u2026 the song [Yaba Buluku] is a hit and is being played all over the world and people can see my work in the video.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Luxury Recycle started off his career in music as part of a hip-hop group.<\/p>\n

\u201cI found fashion within the music industry because we used to do photo shoots \u2013 that\u2019s where I fell in love with fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that time he says he favoured black and dark colours, but things changed: \u201cI became a bright stylist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not afraid of mixing colours, I\u2019m not afraid of trying new colour blocks \u2013 so that\u2019s basically my identity as a stylist.\u201d<\/p>\n

The musician-cum-stylist says he chose his name Luxury Recycle because it underscores his fashion philosophy: \u201cEverything I touch turns to gold.\u201d<\/p>\n
