Sneak Peak on BlackBird Fashion!


Ah, the great month of september is approaching us! Especially, for all those who live in NYC, prepare for all those who are stylists or claim to be, for all they know, its Fashion Week. I digress, but our great lads at BlackBird Designs have given a preview into their fall season. The dynamic duo consists of Zeddie Lukoe and Sydney Owino. Having been featured on Africa Fashion Week 2011, they have placed kenyan fashion in Menswear on the Map, especially in New York City.
