Below are the designs from Amani Ya Juu. Some of which I designed while I was in Kenya, other I helped with patterning. Aren't they fantastic, the women at Amani are so talented! The fabric is amazing as well! I have some great news about my return move and other news about Amani...I will share soon!

I was so blessed to have Catherine who I meet at Amani Ya Juu in Kenya speak at my fashion show. She moved to California with her husband about a month before the fashion show. She is literally 15 minutes away from me now...The world is so small!

I Left My ♥ In Kenya, Fashion Show.

I have been going none stop for the past few months planning and designing for my “I left my heart in Kenya” Fashion show. And boy did it pay off. I am incredibly happy with every part of the night. I had the best group of models, a wonderful DJ, and AMAZING photographer, all my family and friends who helped out the day of and prior…(and if it wasn’t for them I would have not been able to successfully put on the fashion show)….and a wonderful venue at Space 07 Salon.

The turnout was great, and it was so great to see Amani Ya Juu merchandise here in the states!

Robyn Lee Photographed the event...and can I say I fell in love with the few photos I have seen already! She did an amazing job, and if you are looking for a photographer I highly recommended her. You can see her sneak peek on her facebook here.
