August 9, 2010 – Step aside Toi Market! One of the biggest fashion events is scheduled to take place in Nairobi later this year, aimed at the getting authentic Kenyan designs at very large discount.

Dubbed ‘Nairobi Fashion Market’, the two-day event is expected to draw more than 50 vendors.

“These will be local designers, boutique owners and the like,” explains Terry Michuki, one of the organisers of the market.

“We are offering vendors a big discount on stall registration if they in turn give massive discounts on their items,” she added.

Already, online stores like 2nu Kollexion and Maridadi online have signed up for the market.

“Oriflame and Kiko Romeo are also joining the bandwagon,” Michuki told Capital Lifestyle.
