Since our foundation in October 2013 our goal has been to showcase, celebrate and promote the local fashion industry

The unfortunate circumstance over a long period of time is that as Africans and Kenyans, we have been scarred by our past and present negative perceptions to the point that they have become our identity. Komal Afeke Dumor, in his TED talk, stated: “the narrative will always glorify the hunter until the Lion itself learns how to write. It’s not so much about what the international media does but what you write about yourself.” As TDS, we believe that we need to tell our own story to the world, our Africa, our countries’ stories and life experiences from our point of view.

This is who we are!
