Katungulu Mwendwa had the opportunity to showcase her designs during this year’s Fashion Week New York thanks to Gen Art’s Fresh Faces program and Tribal Chic . The Fresh Faces of Fashion Program has launched the career of notable designers like  Rodarte, Zac Posen and Phillip Lim.





Katungulu’s designs are very unique and she always brings something fresh to the table. One thing I love her for is that she hasn’t followed the the “Kitenge, ankara, leso” designs that most designers are doing in Kenya.

Following the partnership of Tribe Hotel and GenArt for Tribal Chic, GenArt have selected one of the designers from Tribal Chic to show at their  spring/summer 2013 Fresh Faces in fashion runway show taking place on September 9 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York. The designer they selected is Katungulu Mwendwa .

 The Fresh Faces program is a catalyst for emerging designers in the industry which has debuted notable designers such as Rodarte, Vena Cava, Zac Posen and Phillip Lim.

The Tribal chic event which took place at the Tribes Hotel in Nairobi Kenya on the 5th May 2012 went down with so much glamor and fashion. The people looked so chic and elegant as people were dressed to kill. So if you missed out on the event, here is what went down.

The organizers and sponsors did quite a phenominal job and there was a major effort by each and every person who graced the event. Thumbs up!
