Tanasha Chonde

Lilongwe, Malawi

Tanasha’s Bio

Tanasha Chonde is a Malawian fashion and textile student, creative storyteller, and aspiring global creative whose world is built from imagination, reinvention, and curiosity. From redesigning clothing as a child to building a floral origami business and walking the runway for internationally recognised designer Lilly Alfonso, she is constantly drawn to spaces where creativity and identity meet. Currently studying at Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), Tanasha explores fashion not just as clothing, but as emotion, culture, and self-expression. She is passionate about visual storytelling, modeling, content creation, and discovering new perspectives through art and human connection. Through every project, she hopes to inspire others to see creativity as something fearless, transformative, and deeply personal as well as bring Malawi into international creative spaces and share the beauty, talent, and creativity that exists within her home country with the world.
