LAGOS FASHION WEEK x SELFRIDGES POP UP: WOVEN THREADS’23

EKI KERE

Éki Kéré embraces basic African traditions and craftsmanship in a more contemporary way, as well as creating hand-crafted designs and aesthetics aimed at reducing fashion waste and leaving a very little carbon impact on the environment.

Éki Kéré as a brand celebrates the core African traditions and craftsmanship but expresses its values in contemporary fashion pieces.

KATUSH

Katush is made ethically in Kenya for the compassionate and confident global citizen. Katush's intellectual curiosity is on full display.

Every collection starts with curiosity, a lens through which the continent’s rich and inspiring heritage is explored and framed. The subject settled on is swept into Katush’s considered process, carried through as prints and design features on simple, contemporary silhouettes that embody modern ease.

Experimenting with various techniques and innovative fabrics, the designer, Katungulu Mwendwa draws from both her Kenyan heritage as well as her travels throughout villages in East Africa. Mwendwa considers her local community central to her brand, and often collaborates with local craftsmen to develop her collections, relying on a range of traditional practices for each design.

Shop a curated selection of Katush’s pieces at the Lagos Fashion Week x Selfridges Pop Up from May 9th for six weeks.
