Kenyan designer talent will be showcased at the “Spring into Style” Dinner and Show at The Lord Erroll on Saturday, May 13, 2017. Both established and rising stars of the Kenyan Fashion Industry will be featured on the catwalk in this unique colonial style setting and lush gardens.

Sally Karago will be displaying her ware as well. Sally is both Chairlady of the Association of Fashion Designers of Kenya (AFAD) and director of the Mcensal School of Fashion.

The evening will kick off with a gourmet four-course dinner with delicacies such as Smoked Salmon Caviar, Sous Vide Beef Fillet and the Signature Decadent Chocolate Dome. As the evening evolves, Mochez models will take to the catwalk in designs from the latest collections of Kenyan clothing and accessory designers. From 11.30am, many more designers will be open to the public with their pop-up shops, and to the event guests throughout the evening.

Almost a quarter million people have used the facilities to date. The Kibera residents will be represented by young music artists who will be performing on this occasion. Their music ranges from R&B, Hip Hop to Reggae, expressing the struggles of life.
