SWAHILI FASHION WEEK HEADING TO KENYA; CALL FOR PARTICIPATIONS

East Africa’s most successful fashion festival, the Swahili Fashion Week, is preparing to make a full appearance in Kenya as a mainstream event, starting from April 5 of this year. Mustafa Hassanali’s erstwhile vision, which resulted in the first Swahili Fashion Week to be launched in 2008 in Dar es Salaam, has now established itself as the region’s foremost fashion and accessories event giving local designers a platform to showcase their creations and make a name for themselves in the international arena.
While the venue and program are still to be announced, the SFW organizers have set a deadline for applications by Kenyan designers to send in their particulars by February 28 to designers@swahilifashionweek.com or use their website www.swahilifashionweek.com to download the relevant forms.
