I've recently been contacted from a new client that has a catering business, named in Swahili. So I've gone under the task of researching that East African region, including textiles, graphics, interiors, etc. I came by the Swahili Fashion Week hosted in Dar Es Salaam in 2010 with bold designs and rich textures, as wells as Suno Designs made from recycled African textiles from Kenya. The latter caught my attention because it's political/cultural statements in their kangas (rectangles of printed cotton that women from the coast of East Africa have worn since the mid 1800s, passed from mother to daughter), because they are most commonly sold in identical pairs and have phrases in Swahili with social, political or sexual connotations.
