Fashion: John Kaveke presents his new collection, Sep 9 2011 @ Panafric Hotel

John Kaveke, the creator of the Kaveke Fashion Brand founded his brand in 1998.  His designs have been showcased on a number of international catwalks. We are proud that John Kaveke, as Head Designer working with Eddie Kirindo, Head Stylist, Connie Aluoch, Fashion Stylist heading PR, Emmanuel Jambo, Head Photographer and Muthoni Njoba, Head Make-up Artist are the first Kenyans to be invited to showcase his collection at the London Fashion Week.

On Friday 9th of September 2011 at 7pm, at the Panafric Hotel, Barasa Terrace, Kaveke will reveal the LFW collection.   This event will not only be an opportunity for Kaveke to showcase his collection but will also allow us to support him and the travelling team.  As with all major events, the costs that will be incurred are tremendous. To assist Kaveke’s debut at the LFW, as well as put Kenya on the international high end  ready to wear fashion map by this email we would like to extend an invitation, requesting your presence at the preview party.  Sadly, Kaveke may not make the journey as he has been denied a visa into the UK by the British High Commission. This, however, will not deter the team as they are determined to ensure that this collection will be unveiled in London.

We hope that you will be impressed by the collection and that you will make a contribution towards his team’s travel by purchasing one of his creations. In the spirit of branding Kenya on the LFW catwalks we will highly appreciate both your presence and contribution. John Kaveke will be available for a consult that evening. Should you wish to commit to a private consultation you can make a reservation via email: tina.oloo@quintessentially.com.
