I want to prove my skill internationally - Mekongo Nathalie Lydienne

33-year old, Nathalie has not lost her determination to become a fashion icon. Inspired by her mother since her childhood, her models - like Touré Gilles, J - P Amor and Imane Ayissi - will have to some extent contributed to her desires.

But she to begin would like to leave her marks Bertoua.


Exactly; it all started since my childhood. I saw mum sew, she was a seamstress and I found it great.


She was so talented that I wanted to look like her one day. So my obsession was to go as far as she did, and more than what she was doing. And I continued to maintain this dream. I want to prove my expertise internationally. Nathalie narrated.


She revealed that all or almost all of my outfits are made by her. I did not only admire my mother, I also watched her a lot. It was a pleasure to learn at her side. She said.


Later I enrolled in IH in Bertoua, and then I continued in workshops in the district, except that despite my talent, I was missing a professional touch in my outfits. I even opened my own sewing workshop which also works very well, but I said sometimes, I'm a perfectionist.

In addition, some clients recommended me to search the internet for professional schools which will help me refine my skill; that is how I fell on Centhirus Mode, and I contacted its founder Mr. Jean Pierre Amor.


But it was already the end of training for that year, so I had to wait the year which followed to integrate.


I had to approach my parents, my brothers and sisters so that they support me financially because the training was a little expensive. I had to leave Bertoua to Yaoundé, in order to better concentrate on my goals. She added.


After Centhirus Mode i will return to Bertoua and enrich my workshop, because there are really no stylists there. Although there are many who are waiting for me, and who certainly will be satisfied to see that I listened to their advice.
