In Nairobi’s buzzing creative scene, few platforms have captured the urgency of documenting and shaping the African creative scene quite like Blueprint. At its helm is Wana, a designer whose journey from hospitality to fashion, product, and interior design has been marked by a deep curiosity about how we occupy and transform space.

Speaking to TANGAZA Magazine, Wana expounds on her conviction that the continent must document, teach, and celebrate its own creativity on its own terms.

Get into the latest capsule by RI A RI and VILLAGEBOY. Started in 2021 as a one-off styling project featuring a curated collection of upcycled garments, its warm reception inspired UK-based Ugandan designer to double down on his clothes-making journey.

“Ulipokua Hauepo”

For their latest collection of handcrafted shirts, pants, and acessories, has partnered with Kenyan vcollective 199x to craft an intimate visual campaign told through the lens of two lovers captured in the quiet stillness of Tigoni Tea Farm in Limuru, Kenya.

The campaign marries  textiles like Kantha, Kasuti, Bandhani, Kutch appliqué, and more, all rooted in South Asian craft legacies, and places them in conversation with the rhythms, textures, and spirit of East Africa. ✨
