Cate Actress, Oga Obinna To Headline Much-Anticipated Kitenge Fashion Fest And Awards Gala At Rupaz Mall

After realizing that the love for Kitenge fabric otherwise known as African print was slowly dying three individuals decided to do something about it in 2015. With an aim of showcasing the versatile, bold & vibrant feel of African print, #KitengeFashionFestival was born and one of the organizers popularly known as @Maxivanke alludes to the fact that major progress has been made since. The event also has an aim of supporting and growing local talents be it designers, models and artists another organizer @MC Nick the Trend adds.
A one of a kind event, it features a fashion show by top designers in the country giving them a chance to showcase their Ankara designs while recognizing the best designs.
The fact that event attendees also have to rock Kitenge outfits makes the event quite outstanding to say the least.
This year the 6th edition is set to go down on the 29th of April at Rupas Mall grounds with Kate Actress known for her high fashion sense and Oga Obinna the top entertainer in the 254 as hosts.


While speaking to Mr @Nebert Nebo another one of the organizers he stated that the dream is to take the event international and he further added that they were actively working towards achieving that. He also appreciated that such efforts were getting the attention of the Kenyan government with #KitengeOutfits being embraced even in Parliament. Though they hope to get even more support from the government the organizers are grateful for the support that they have got from corporates and fans.
