President Uhuru Kenyatta’s last born son, Muhoho, has carved out a career for himself in fashion design.
Contrary to the family trade, politics, Muhoho is quite a gifted fashionista at Nomadic, a company he founded with his friends and former schoolmates.
Mo, as he is popularly known to his friends, first designed a pair of trousers from khanga material after he consulted his mother, who many Kenyans praise for her admirable fashion sense.
Nation interviewed the young Kenyatta during a past fashion event, where he disclosed what his mother, First Lady Margaret Kenyatta, first thought of his creations.
“I decided to get some pants made, some kikoi pants, but I saw some khanga material so I decided to make it out of that,” he started.
“My mum said it wasn’t a good idea as khanga was for women but I went out wearing them and people really liked them,” Muhoho added.
Apart from the trousers, Mo’s outfit also produces harems and shorts.
While the junior Kenyatta formed Nomadic as the head of the production, Rudra Khanna served as the head of operations, Waruru Wachira the head of marketing and Wasim Manji as the head of accounting.
“The energy of this group is contagious and we knew they deserved a national platform on which to showcase their creativity,” Sonu Sharma and organiser of fashion events once commented about the Nomadic team.
The first lady has previously rocked her son’s designs in a number of events.
