what you haave done for your country”
With that may I welcome you to witness the 10th Anniversary of Swahili Fashion Week and Awards.

The Swahili Fashion Week logo is mirror image of the African continentgraphically resembling the kipe-
peo (the Swahili name for a vibrant, colourful butterfly).
The image of Africa resembles the face of an African woman with her characteristic head wrap; the
sharp models give a glamorous feel to the “Fashion is Business” and “Made in Africa” ideas.
The wings resemble the direction aimed at taking Eastern African fashion industry to an International
