 Kenyan-based fashion house, Afro Fanatic (AFFATM) launched its second collection at the Africa Fashion Week at Sptafields in London last Saturday. This London collection was dubbed Fire and Lace. “Edgy” was the buzz word for the collection as it was received with much applause. It premiered in Nairobi last year in October.

With designer / artist Ziki O at its helm AFFATM dresses Kenyan celebrities such as musician Karen 'Kaz' Lucas. It also recently began providing wardrobe for Kenya‟s longest running TV talk show -Together On The Move. "We are featuring a slightly muted colour palette, creatively intertwined with a bolder mix of diverse fabrics that range from the sheer to the bold and gold," said Ziki.
