This week the Stylist Magazine ran a portrait of the designer where she made a point of talking about
growing up in Marseilles and her connections with the Maison Méditerranéenne des Métiers de la Mode (
MMMM).
Founder of the concept store Front de Mode, and designer for her two lines Sakina M'Sa and Blue Line, as
well as leading the project « Manifeste pour un eco-systeme de la mode au XXIeme siecle [Manifesto for a
fashion industry ecosystem for the 21st century] » Sakina M'Sa is a real "slasheuse": a slasher/slasheuse is
someone who describers themselves as having a day job/(slash) and second job, activity or passion.
As a designer with a social conscious Sakina M'Sa runs workshops at Seine-Saint-Denis {north of Paris], in
Rio and in Madagascar. She also organises fashion runway shows in the Cancer Department at the Avicenne
Hospital in Bobigny [north east of Paris], and is just starting her 6th "Fashion Week in Prison" at the Fleury
