Kenyan Designer Featured at New York Fashion Week

Kenya might not be a mature fashion market yet, but it is growing, with a couple of high profile runway shows coming up in the last couple of years.

Talented designers have been around for even longer, and some have gone on to some of the biggest fashion stages in the world. Last year, John Kaveke got to showcase his designs at the London Fashion week.

Last week, local designer, Katungulu Mwendwa got the opportunity to showcase her work at the New York Fashion Week.

Moroccanoil held an event dubbed The GenArt’s Fresh Faces in Fashion which featured Spring 2013 collections from the likes of Amanda Lew Kee, Anne Sofie Madsen and more including Katungulu Mwendwa.

She was picked as part of this year’s GenArt Global program. The event has proved to be the launching pad of some of the biggest designers and their gateway into the fashion world.
