What Cool Things Have Kenyan Fashion Personalities Been Up To?
The Kenyan fashion scene still has some diehards riding it utill the very end!
We’ve been keeping a distant eye to see what some of our favourite personalities have been up to while discovering some new brands doing cool things.
- Chepkemboi Mang’ira aka Miss Vavavum of #OwnYourCulture speaks at a Fashion School in Tokyo
Ms Mang’ira just came back from Japan where she got to give a talk on how her social media platform (#OwnYourCulture) that she’s been running for several years now is decolonizing fashion through traditional jewellery. She shared with KV that this opportunity was given to her mostly because of how she uses social media to spread her brand message.

The two art and fashion graduates who started off focusing on hand painting denim jackets last year have a soft spot for giving back. “We started our #helpushelpthem campaign last year with some handmade jackets made by a nonprofit organization supporting women. This year we decided to expand that campaign to wildlife conservation as it is a mission that has always been important to us. We hope to contribute to the great work being done at Ol Pejeta with these T-shirts and possibly more products in the future.” The tees are currently retailing at 2500ksh for adults, and 2000ksh for kids. You can order by contacting themthrough Instagram, Facebook or email.
