Anyango Mpinga (Kenya)

Born in Kenya, coming from a communications background, and no official fashion education, Mpinga followed her passion and launched her brand in 2015. She has since showcased her works in Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Mozambique and France; she has also been twice nominated for the Kenya Designer of the year and received the International Design Award by She Trades Collective. Her collections are inspired by culture, a passion for art, and narratives that touch on social issues in Africa. Her pieces are currently only sold online.
