John Kaveke

Kenyan designer John Kaveke studied fashion design both in Kenya and in Spain. He worked for four years as a designer for other labels until setting-up is own.

Kaveke has been involved in different projects including the International Smirnoff fashion Awards, Mnet face of Africa, Big Brother Africa (Kenyan representative garment), National Dress design Team, Sarajevo Fashion week and Catwalk Kenya.

Kaveke's style is a contemporary mix with a little bit of edge. It can be classic or unstructured surrounded by notes of handmade beadwork produced by Maasai who traditionally use it as jewellery.

The garments are designed for women who flaunt all their feminine charm and expressing vitality, passion for life and individuality.

Inspirational fabrics he uses are leather, denim, recycled fabrics, suede, knitwear, tie dye cottons, linen and sometimes silk.

Shades range from natural colours and earth shades to white and sudden flashes of brights.

A new men's line playing heavily on conventional tailoring and irony is currently underway.
