Wednesday 29th saw the second Bond themed KikoRomeo experience. Ann McCreath of KikoRomeo showed her 2013 women’s wear and menswear collections which were presented by female professional models lead by Ajuma Nasenyana and nine members of the Kenya 15s and 7s Rugby Team.
The event was slated to start at 6pm with a cocktail session that run through till the runway show started three hours later at 8pm.
The runway show was surprisingly short but the collections much bolder and brighter than last year’s especially for the menswear. The menswear line was described by the KikoRomeo team as “a range of separates inspired by the minimalist style of 60s fashion, the cool killer instincts of 007 and the sensual pull of the man with the golden gun...”
Vibrant shirts and jackets for the men in explosive flashes of violet, sulphur and skyfall-blue while the women’s wear collection, which was designed for the inner bond girl, is lean and natural, effortlessly sexy and stirs the curves and shakes down the figure focused more on Moonraker-pink, blaze-blue, spy-black, Octussy-green and Russian red.
Cocktail dresses and long mermaid evening gowns with plunging V-necks and swishy tails with my personal favourite being the bold red piece that head designer Ann McCreath wore to take her bow at the end of the show.
The “Shaken Not Stirred” event which had a strict 007 dress code was adhered to by most led by the local red carpet fashion greats Annabel Onyango in a two-piece leather bustier and batik print tea length pencil skirt, Wambui Thimba in one of summers biggest trends; a black on white jacket with leather sleeves and gorgeous studded Brian Atwood heels.
Stylist Connie Aluoch looked fabulous and fierce in a black romper, turquoise heels and chandelier earrings and new on my fashion radar, foodie Susan Wong also in a black and white cocktail dress paired with fire engine red heels.
