Hard times in fashion should birth cool ideas

One of Kenya’s crossover exports that rakes in prestige and, arguably some handsome loot, is fashion. The industry has been recording definitive growth in recent years, with international eyes looking into the country for creative ideas and inspiration to further progress their art and commercial muscle.

From designers, such as wax prints expert LookslikeAvido, to the scouting of up-and-coming fashion models like Clint Malik and Randy Gowon, to supermodel Naomi Campbell strutting in Kenyan colours at the Paris Fashion Week in February, the industry has banked some iconic moments that symbolise Kenya’s steady rise to the high table.
