Arnold Muriithi may soon be Kenya’s equivalent of an Yves St Laurent or a Calvin Klein. At least that what his fans in fashion shows in Maputo and Addis Ababa fashion weeks told him. Fashion scouts from the UK who were on the lookout for fresh new fashion talents and invited him to attend fashion weeks in London, Paris, Milan or New York also suggested it.
“But as I just came from Mozambique where I showed my Voyager collection this past December, I’m not prepared to present my newest designs just yet,’’ says Muriithi who’s been moving in the fast lane ever since 2015 when he was picked by Equity Bank’s talent scouts.
