The first family have decided to break from the norm of taking a back seat when it comes to the spotlight! First was Ngina Kenyatta who decided to pursue her passion of getting actively involved with the Anti Jigger Campaigns in jigger infested areas….now the president’s 17year old son is striving to make a name in the fashion world! meet fashion designer Muhoho Kenyatta!He made a fashion debut last evening during the Kenya Fashion week by showcasing some of his handmade designs made from Kitenge, lace, chiffon ,silk and other fabrics. His company NOMADIC showcased a range of designs including trousers, harem and shorts...They went from formal, casual and beach wear.
Mo as he’s popularly known by his pals co-founded the Nomadic brand and he started off by designing a pair of trousers from khanga material two years ago
“I decided to get some pants made, some kikoi pants, but I saw some khanga material so I decided to make it out of that,” he says “My mum said it wasn’t a good idea as khanga was for women but I went out wearing them and people really liked them.”
Apparently the positive response he got encouraged him to partner with his fellow students at Peponi school, Nairobi- Rudradeer (Rudra) Khanna, 17, Wasim Manji, 16, and Waruru Wachira, 17 to register a company under a brand, Nomadic.
