SWAHILI FASHION WEEK- NAIROBI SHOWCASE

Finally the Swahili Fashion Week- Nairobi showcase went down yesterday at the Michael Joseph Centre and let me say it was graced by people in a very extravagant way. Since this was the first time that it was happening in Nairobi, Kenya people were anxious to see what was going to be brought on the Runway by the designers. I can say each person was geared up in style looking all glamorous and set to see fabulous creations on the catwalk. The place was fully packed as the tickets were all sold out. The designers did an excellent job and the coordination of the whole event was excellent plus the models not to forget.  The designers collections were interesting as each person had there own creativity and individuality but I can say prints and embroidery were mostly seen but who can forget Patricia Mbela who didn't disappoint at all as her designs had great colour schemes, modernized prints, stitching,creativity and the accessories made and used were just on top of the world. I can say she took her stand as one of the best designers we have got in Africa and also Globally. I can't wait to see what the main Swahili Fashion Week fashion show has to offer in December. Credits go to Mustafa Hassanali for bring the event to Nairobi and also for the efforts he has had. Also not forgetting this two guys who were really helpful to each and everyone for the smooth running of the event : Honesty Arroyal and Washington Benbella.
