Kenya is the fashion hub of East Africa. With many models and designers based in Nairobi,\u00a0 the fashion industry continues to grow. As streetwear grows as fashion phenomenon, designers from Japan with the Harajuku style have made a name for themselves around the globe. Similarly, Kenyan urban designers are also taking on the challenge of articulating the quintessential Kenyan urban streetwear.<\/p>\n

The following urban brands are definitely a must-have when embracing Kenya’s versatile street style:<\/p>\n

This Nairobi-based urban clothing brand was among the first to adopt the khanga and leso as its main fabric. Creating easy and functional pieces including their trademark jackets. ChiliMango not only produces epic t-shirts with Kenyan proverbs that only a true Kenyan would appreciate, they also have bags, laptop sleeves, and even houseware. Popular with famed photographer Mutua Matheka and mega-artist Blinky Bill, the brand is definately the definition of afro-cool style.<\/p>\n
