Top designer Quiteria Kekana who has created a global brand with Quiteria Atelier has revealed to a local publication that he got diagnosed with Cancer in April. The designer is taking things slow and has been receiving help from his mother back home in Soweto.
The designer who received some bad publicity a few months ago has told the publication that he noticed some skin patches and inflammation in various parts of his body.
In addition to that, he experienced loss of appetite, was always tired and confused. Upon seeking medical attention, Quiteria said he then got diagnosed with multiple myeloma early this year.
“Many people know it as the Kahler’s disease, but multiple myeloma is basically cancer that forms in a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell. Cancerous plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow and crowd the healthy blood cells and produce abnormal proteins that can cause complications,” he was quoted as saying.
The designer who is reportedly undergoing chemotherapy said he was struggling financially as a result of the medical bills. He said his friends chipped in to help and he had to sell some of his personal belongings to help keep his business afloat.
“Friends have assisted in paying some of my medical bills. I’ve managed to sell some of my belongings to keep the store and studio open until I get better,” he revealed.
Quiteria’s designs have been worn by famous names, some as big as Beyoncé when she performed at the Global Citizen in 2018. He designed her final outfit together with his former partner George, and it was a breathtaking green dress.
