IN SHORT

Mélina Gandaho loved fashion since she was a little girl dressing up her dolls. Then, one of the greatest stylists in the country saw something in her, discovering and giving her the break she needed to start in the business. Not even 20 years old today, this young designer has already made a name for herself and has even launched her own clothing line. A committed activist, Mélina advocates for those pushed aside because of a disability.
