Kasha Online Magazine

Hi people!!

Last night I decide to google a fellow fashion blogger Nancie Mwai. I then found that she is the editor of an online fashion magazine called Kasha Magazine. It is a must read magazine, and for its first issue, it is amazing!!! Go to http://reader.kashamagazine.com/ to read it. You just have to read it. The content, the fashion and the pictures are all amazing. I feel so proud of this home grown magazine and the amount of fashion it has. 

I hope you all enjoy the magazine as much as I did and still am!! As for the rest of the day today...it is so gloomy but I'm determined to have a good day. Going for rugby with the girls. Kenya vs Uganda. 

Have a good day people and keep warm!!

My first collection!!

Hello everyone!

Today I was busy running around looking for fabric for my first collection. I don't want to spill any beans on the collection. I can't wait to let you guys see the clothes. Keep checking here for more on my first clothing collection.

Louis Vuitton and the Maasai shuka

Hi people!! Hope you are all well. Now for those of you who don't know (and must be living in Pluto), Louis Vuitton featured a whole lot of Masai shuka in the Menswear S/S 2012 collection. I feel that it is such an honor for us as Kenyan's to have such a huge label feature our fabric. Bringing so much attention to us as African's and saying that there is a lot that they can get from us. We are more than just a 3rd world country. We are no longer the next big thing. We are the big thing. Now can we begin to capitalize on this platform that we have been given by Louis Vuitton and others like Marie Claire who stated, "Nairobi is the new New York" and Black Fashion Magazine, Paris edition, who featured Lucy Rao's dress on the cover.

Kenya, it is our time to rule the fashion world!!



 

The FAB expo and my lovely green bag!!

Hello lovely people! Sorry I haven't been around much. Just finished my internship at Amani Ya Juu and I really enjoyed. From the people to the fabric.

Yesterday I went for the FAB-Fashion and Beauty Expo at the Westgate shopping mall. The place was amazing. I found such amazing items. For me, the thing that caught my eye the most had to be Silver Jewelry by Meena and Una and Bahati by Patricia Wakaimba. Look up Bahabti at www.bahati.me. I love the fact that Bahati is also very affordable for custom made clothing. I also realised that the Kenyan fashion scene is growing so fast and it is becoming more competitive, which is exciting.

While I was there, I got myself a beautiful green bag. I'm really loving it. I even dreamed about it last night. Isn't it beautiful?

All in all, I had a great time. A well spent fashionable day!!

Have a great Monday people!!

Let me know what you think. More of my work still t come.
