KENYA FASHION DESIGNER, LIZZ OGUMBO AND HER 'IMANI HOUSE OF FASHION"!



The talented designer herself-Lizz Ogumbo

Nice combo of colors

Power House Indeed

1 of my fav' pieces

Colors and more colors

Love the skirt on the left

Ok discovered the world of Miss Ogumbo a few months ago when Valerie Traore of Niyel invited her in Senegal to showcase her work to people who may not have had the chance to see designers from other parts of Africa..
It was a beautiful show, the collections were gorgeous and mostly wearable..at least she sells things that women can wear daily...
While talking to this former model I discovered a woman passionate abt what she does, and more interestingly she doesn't feel that her designs have to just be "african prints" but wanted to create things by an African woman that women from all continents could feel good in..I understand!
Lizz also is the owner of Imani Models, a modelling agency based in Nairobi...
Clearly a young woman doing her thang..I also heard that Lizz can sing..so keep your eyes and ears opened to this young lady..
