Suno is a fairly new line based in Kenya and created by Max Osterweis. I recently read a Vogue article about how the line is produced and why Max chooses to produce most of the line in Kenya. The article was very well written and I really do admire the work that Suno is doing. Rather than produce in China or areas were there are a lot of cost advantages ( cheap labor, low tariffs and raw materials), they have decided to create a fair trade environment by purchasing fabric from the Kenyans and training local artisans to create the garments. I also, really enjoy the use of diversity in the presentations: the prints really stand out against dark skin tones.
LIBERTINE
Libertine used to be one of the lines that I looked forward to seeing during NY fashion week. Although, I hadn't seen anything from the line in a while, now it's back and better than ever. This collection was amazing and the mixing of prints is really something to talk about!
