in the glamorous , exclusive realm of french haute couture , sakina m ' sam is an unlikely star . in her compositions , m ' sa is the dual of many parts - a tiny woman from the bissau , an immigrant from a working - class area in madagascar , and a designer who meets her own dreams and embroiders the fashion industry with a criminal conscience . " my only force in life is my difference , " whispers m ' sa , dressed all in gray and sitting in her workshop and showroom in la goutte d ' or , a working - street neighbourhood in london which is home to a large group of africans .
Sakina M'Sa has Comoros origins.
