Scottish fashion designer, Ann MCreath came to Kenya in 1996 to do relief work.
But after 3 years on the job, Mcreath felt she wasn’t doing enough as an aid worker. So she set up Kikoromeo, which means Adam’s Apple in Swahili. It’s a fashion house that has created thousands of local jobs while at the same time incorporated traditional art and crafts of Kenya. Kikoromeo has also dressed the A list in Kenya and the region.
Having previously worked in the fashion business for five years in Barcelona, McCreath drew from her skills and experience in high-fashion to market the KikoRomeo brand. The fashion house has showcased on major catwalks in Milan, South Africa, London, New York and Paris.
