There has been a rapid growth in the fashion industry in Kenya. Many people consider fashion design photography, modelling and styling as careers unlike before. Kenyans now appreciate and buy local designs and with time,I hope retailers will stock more of local designs in their stores.
As an aspiring fashion designer all you need is the interest, the talent, an eye for fashion and training from a design school. This will help you get more knowledge about fashion design and to understand it in detail making you stand out in a market that is competitive.
If you are looking to study fashion design, here are the top fashion design schools in Kenya .

Hi Kimeu,
My daughter is in class 7. She is very artistic. She can draw and also make simple dresses. She wants to have more training and be busy over holidays.
Please help me shape up this dream. Where do I take her? Whats the best approach?
LikeLike
Hi Jackson. Thank You for your question. She can go for holiday training at Mcensal because they have holiday classes that help children nurture their fashion talent. It will also be good for her creatively because they are able to pinpoint her strengths and particular design interest and nurture it.The teachers are also very helpful, being that most of them are designers.
