Levi’s® Curvy: The Classics That Continue to Define the Perfect Fit

Nomzamo: I’m passionate about all the hats I get to wear and truly commit to each role with good intent, creativity and a solid vision.

Glamour: What was it about the Levi’s brand that made you say yes to working with them for the second time?

Nomzamo: They’re the feel good brand that grows up with you. It’s never trying to be trendy because it’s the brand that’s got staying power and integrity. I’ve loved Levi’s before I could even afford Levi’s! All my older siblings worked hard for their first 501 pair and kept their jeans in all their life forms. That made the love affair grow even deeper

Glamour: Women have a love-hate relationship with their bodies. This unfortunately is the norm more than the exception. What advice can you share with women to help them embrace and accept the unique body they have?

Nomzamo: Interrogate what makes you dislike your body or certain parts of your body. When you find it, decide what you want to do to change that or to improve your relationship with your body. It’s important to embrace and also in moments when it's difficult to find solutions to make you love yourself in a better way.

Glamour: What are the style tips you swear by when it comes to wearing your Levi’s?

Nomzamo: I love them all! Truly.

Glamour: What is your favourite pair of jeans from the collection?

Nomzamo: Curvy Flare, 501 Curve, Super Skinny.

Glamour: Prioritising self-care is essential. What are your top self-care tips that you swear by?

Nomzamo: At the moment, I don’t have any. I’ve been incredibly busy and I can’t think of ways that I’m practicing self care. Maybe switching off my phone for an hour is the most I’ll do to reset.

Glamour: What advice would you give to young women who look up to you and aspire to have the life and career that you have?

Nomzamo: Find your passion and believe in the goodness of your life - that it loves you back and that it will find you.
