From SUNO’s 2009 (yes I’m a little late with this) collection. For a fun video featuring their 2010 resort collection click here. This seems to have been shot in Puerto Rico for some bizarre reason. “SUNO was formed in 2008 by Max Osterweis after more than a decade of collecting textiles in visits to Kenya. Building a successful and visible company that employs local Kenyan talent, treats workers fairly, and showcases some of Kenya’s artistry could potentially affect positive and lasting social and economic change. The design and development for SUNO takes place in New York City, employing skilled sample and pattern makers in New York’s Garment district. The patterns and samples and then brought to Kenya where the garments are then artisinally produced in small workshops. The inspiration for this first collection comes from both the women of coastal East Africa and the women of downtown New York.”
