Celebrate all shades of Guyanese women
WHEN we think of fashion and modeling, we usually think of the tall little girl or young man strapping down the runway in the latest pieces of clothing.
However, a new age is approaching, and more and more, people have been demanding that men and women of all shapes and sizes be included in fashion, whether on hangout boutiques or on stage at local fashion shows. One of the movers and shakers feeding that call is 27-year-old entrepreneur Tekesia Taylor. The young entrepreneur is currently in the process of building her brand and website ‘Queens by Nefertiti’ which revealed that it will be an inclusive brand catering to women of all colors and styles, and noted extremely important for Guyanese women and girls to see representations of themselves. According to the young woman, the site will be an online boutique featuring stylish and fashionable clothing all modeled and displayed by Guyanese women of all colors and pictures. She told the Buzz that her goal is to empower and celebrate women through fashion.

He added that it is important in this day and age for women to feel comfortable whenever they shop and get dolled up. Although Taylor’s business may seem just like a regular online boutique, he reassured that it is not certain as it will be a prestigious online shopping platform that will not only include its business but other businesses as well and will also provide a few local Guyanese fashion designers. an opportunity to market and sell their pieces. He explained that the platform will provide space for the fastest and safest way of shopping as customers will make payments electronically and be able to receive their items within a day or two. Although the business has yet to be launched, the Queens team at Nefertiti has been releasing teasers through their Instagram page to give customers a glimpse of what they can expect. It was also revealed that the platform will be more than just an online shopping space but also a blog that will provide women with shopping tips and motivational messages to promote body positivity. Although no date has yet been set for an official launch as the platform is still in its trial phase, fashion enthusiasts can visit the business’s Instagram page @ queensbynefertiti.
