Nairobi Fashion Week Set To Kick Off Today: 6 Designers to Look Out For
Nairobi Fashion Week is back after a four-year hiatus and the season’s newest designs will be showcased during the two-day run at Sarit Expo Center in Nairobi. From Friday, November 25 through Saturday, November 26, new collections from 25 designers will be unveiled on the runway hailing from countries including Kenya, South Africa, Togo, Benin, the United States, Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia, the Ivory Coast, and Switzerland.
This year’s theme is tagged Blue Print, and the organizers want to focus on making Nairobi one of the fashion districts of the continent as well as attracting stockists and more designers. Pop-up exhibitions will also be part of the two-day event, allowing visitors to meet designers and exhibitors before the show at any time.
According to James Brian Kihindas, Creative Director, Nairobi Fashion Week:
“The theme seeks to bring to life the cultural journeys and milestones of the designers through their original creations. There will be a spectacular series of designs showcased to fit the theme. The event promises elegance with a purpose. It will create a productive ground for careers to thrive and impact the fashion, art, textile and manufacturing industries.”
