She works tirelessly towards a goal. She throws fashion parties, invites all the beautiful people, and makes an event out of everything she does. Her design brand - “Kiko Romeo” – is truly stand-out in how it celebrates local design. The brand showcased recently at New York Fashion Week to what I can only assume were rave reviews at the array of bright, Maasai shuka-inspired prints. The new store is a beautifully constructed loft-like space full of colourful clothes, shoes, and shiny accessories.

I share with you some images from the launch of the fabulous new store, Yaya Centre, 1st Floor.

Side Note: I met my fella at Ann’s first ever Fashion for Peace (FAFA, 2008) event, held under a giant tent inside the National Park. Total romance, total glamour. I’m a fan for life.
