What is your relationship to burlesque?
When I think of burlesque the first thing/person that comes to my mind is Dita Von Tees, many years ago I designed a collection based on her as a fashion icon. For me she is not just an icon, she stands for power and femininity. In younger years I often went to Burlesque clubs with my friends.

You won the Swedish “Project Runway”, but also the challenge of doing a burlesque costume, with Dita von Tease as a judge, how was that? And how was it to meet her?
It was quite unreal to see her in real life! I got starstruck when saw her walking in to the studio.
The feeling was amazing, I loved her warmth personality. She was so elegance and kind. The hole experience made it a little difficult to focus on my work Image may be NSFW.

You have a lot going on, tell us about you up-coming plans? What can we expect from Naim Josefi in the next year?
During this time I have been doing collaborations for big companies such as Ljungbergs Factory, Nelly and Lindex. Next year I am going to focus more on my own brand. I will work on new collections and shows. At the moment I am looking for investors for my company.
