Africa.

“Suno”

Fashion designer, Max Osterweis, brings new light to the African dress in America. He took the classic prints of the traditional Africa kangas (sarongs) and created new tops and bottoms for women for his new line called Suno. The line includes one-of-a-kind tanks ($160), high-waisted skirts ($345), and light summer dresses ($495) to be sold exclusively at Opening Ceremony in NYC and L.A.

Max, a Brooklyn native often vacationed in Kenya with his family while growing up. There he saw all the beautiful colors and prints. To give back to the country he adores, he hired 15 full Kenyan tailors to sew the pieces (after two months of employment the Kenyan government provides benefits).
