Stylish in Kenya



Last weekend was a great chance to snap some fashionable Kenyans beautifying the landscape with their presence. Anybody you know? Any ideas you like? :) Comment below!


This lovely orange flower is Sally Mukhanji. Monochrome always looks great with one colour that just pops!



Fashion model Delvin Malik (left) & fashion designer Protus Omondi looking sharp by colour blocking. Black, white, & one bright colour



The beautiful Glamourzone twins, Carole & Juelz John, gorgeous in black & gold.
How they got TWO great identical outfits, is a skill these fashionistas have mastered. 
                                                   Very rare to find a second great dress!



Lovely British/Kenyan model Vanessa Chettle looking fierce 
in a high waist outfit with gladiator heels.  
 
   


 Cheeky looking Mikey combines 2 of the freshest trend ideas: Denim on denim, with neon (shirt & Converse sneakers). Nice!





So many brilliant style ideas one can get from Stylist Nyawira Mumenya's outfit here:
 Lace top with jeans? Always a great idea! I <3 lace!



Pretty tartan chapeau & zigzag triangle earrings, bracelets (love the spikes!)



Rhinestone studded angel wings heart ring, beautiful ornate jewelled crucifix on chain

 



Black gem accessories on fashion stylist Sandra Atemo...

       Almost doing a curtsy, what with all the compliments on her ensemble!






Once again, orange rules the day, with future diplomat Karen Njica looking regal in this red carpet worthy gown


                         Loving the orange/gold combo, especially the shoulder pad detail here



Marvin Mmari of Maraq Mmari designs & pretty Emmah Nyamwea rock matching jackets in African print. You are never fully dressed without a smile!

Never underestimate the power of accessories. Love Emmah's studded mint ballet shoes, & Marvin's earthy masculinity pendant





Adding height with an unusual wedge, these black slingbacks give future cabin crew student Brenda Noni a few extra inches for fun

Greetings,


Fashionphiles & Glamouratti,



My name is Jaqi Mugo, fashion & DJing have been my 2 great career loves since my days as a child stylista. Since the days of CNN's "Style with Elsa Klensch" (I wanted her job should she get promoted, loved how everyone she touched turned to gold!). My latest fascination is with icons like Anna Wintour, schools like Conde Nast College, event organizing companies like Bureau Betak, to local modelling agencies like Strut It Afrika, & glamorous events like Fafa Fashion for Peace. Mwah!

I live in the most gorgeous piece of real estate in the world - beautiful Kenya in East Africa, Nairobi to be specific! From wild flora & fauna, to urban city chique, Kenya has it all. We love to laugh, dance, eat, have fun with friends, create and love, no really, LOVE, lurv fashion!


Welcome to my blawg, "Fashioned" on fashionable people in my life here where I live! I will be posting regularly about interesting and fabulously fun people you should know in this fascinating industry. 

Don't blink or you might miss something! ;)



From Her Majesty,



DJ Shock Africa :*
