Nairobi Fashion Week (NFW) is making a comeback with a bang after a four year hiatus.
It’s now official that NFW will stage the season’s latest collections at Sarit Expo Center, in November.
From Friday, November 25 through Sunday, November 27, 25 designers will debut their newest collections on the runway.
According to the founder and creative director James Brian, this year marks the six seasons since the inception of NFW in 2013.
“Our focus is to position Nairobi as a fashion district in Africa and create an ecosystem between stockists and designers. Nairobi Fashion Week (NFW) has proven over the years to be an accommodating avenue for both upcoming and seasoned designers and fashion enthusiasts,” Says Brian.
Adding that; “It is an unstoppable fireball of glitz and glam that explores every inch of fashion from gracious and composed to fiery and bold. We are therefore delighted to bring back this outstanding occasion after a devastating period of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
This year's event will guarantee a universal space with display of different culturally-inspired content from Kenya and beyond, under the versatile theme "Blueprint".
“The theme seeks to bring to life the cultural journeys and milestones of the designers through their original creations.
There will be a spectacular series of designs showcased to fit the theme. The event promises elegance with purpose.
Not only will it create a productive ground for careers to thrive but also aims at impacting the fashion, art, textile, and manufacturing industries.” He adds.
