I am Sharon Wanjiru Gicheru, a 20-year-old aspiring fashion designer, currently immersed in the exhilarating depths of my third and final year at The Technical University Of Kenya. My journey here began in 2020, a year after I completed my high school education at the esteemed Mumbi Girls High School, where I had devoted four transformative years culminating in my successful KCSE graduation in 2019. As I trace back my steps even further, my academic foundation was laid at Chalaw Academy, a cherished local school that nurtured my growth over eight formative years of primary education. My path in fashion design has been illuminated by this rich tapestry of experiences, and I can't wait to weave my creativity into the world of fashion.
SUNSET HUES: EMBRACING DIVERSITY & CONFIDENCE
"Sunset Hues: Embracing Diversity and Confidence" is a captivating collection that stands as a powerful campaign for body positivity and self-love. In a world where women have been unjustly criticized for their appearance, this collection emerges as a beacon of change. Drawing inspiration from the serene beauty of sunsets, it symbolizes the end of an era where societal standards dictated how women should feel about their bodies. With a deep understanding of the rich tapestry of African culture, the collection liberates African women, granting them the freedom to express themselves through modern African clothing. The choice of black and vibrant orange as the main colors is intentional, with orange representing the boldness and vibrancy that women should feel when they adorn themselves and black signifying the inherent power they hold. "Sunset Hues" is not just a collection; it's a movement, an affirmation that every woman, regardless of her skin color, body type, or weight, deserves to embrace herself with confidence and pride.
