The shape of things to have….
In 2012 Fashion definitely favors both form and function. By Sandra Belyon
In the recent past Kenyans in general have been ridiculed
and accused of having a poor sense of style and at times referred to as lacking
in Fashion by those responsible in rating Fashion in this beautiful continent
and the East African region as a whole where neighboring countries like Uganda
and Tanzania are said to have better tastes and fashion sense. I do not know if
this is the reason that has contributed to Kenyans in all walks of life
improving in taste and style as evidenced by my generation. Lack of fashion
sense is the last thing they would say of us especially women between late
teens and mid thirties, they clothes, shoes, bags are so diverse and rich in
color. Just look around you as you walk down the streets of Nairobi ,in the
social places and even the work place you will be sure to find the following….
Clutch bags
This little bag is back but was first made popular in the sixties.
Though the shapes were traditional or with a sling chain. But come 2012 these
bags have become even more central to our looks. Many of us are turning heads
with them in interesting shapes, textures, sizes and even color. The price
range is between Ksh. 50 to as much as Ksh. 6000 depending on where you shop
