Fashion flare in Kenya

September 25, 2007

Milan, Paris and New York are no longer the center of the fashion world. That's at least what several women designers based in Kenya are out to prove.

It's fashion with a conscience: everything is made locally and by hand, providing jobs to thousands and promoting traditional crafts.
