Muna Yemane knew fashion is what she wanted to do after high school. So, she went to study in Australia. After graduating with a fashion degree in 2011, she took another year to study business before coming back home.
In January 2014, Muna decided it was time to dive into her passion and introduced her style to the Kenyan market. She sent sketches of her first capsule collection to Festival for African Fashion & Arts (FAFA) and got to share the runway with other Kenyan fashion designers.
Muna Yemane (the brand) stands for sophisticated, classy and still edgy and targets the middle and upper classes.
Her collection is more Tribo-Eclectic because it has drawn inspiration from various sources with the tribal backdrop being the main focus. Geometric printed African fabrics with tribal motifs giving off an African vibe and the use of the oriental orgami folding influence on the detailing of the garments.
