An award-winning stylist, fashion director, designer, businesswoman and speaker, she has established herself as one of South Africa’s most influential voices in contemporary African fashion and culture.

A true creative visionary, Papama previously served as Creative Director for Johannesburg’s luxury concept store Luminance, where she collaborated with global fashion powerhouses such as Givenchy, Stella McCartney, Giorgio Armani, Oscar de la Renta, Chloé, and Giuseppe Zanotti.
