It’s not often that style has substance. In a world where people can spend up to $4,000 on a high-end garment, SUNO isn’t just selling clothing – they’re selling change.
In 2008, filmmaker Max Osterweis decided to do something that would affect fashion economics: start a design house that would manufacture its clothing in Kenya.
Based in New York, and partnered with Erin Beatty (who has designed for Generra and Gap), Osterweis works with native Kenyan textile designers to create clothing that appeals to fashionistas all over the world.
The line is now available through Opening Ceremony, Barney’s New York, Liberty, Bergdorf Goodman, and Maria Luisa in Paris.
Profiled in Vogue and Time, the clothing has found its way into the closets of style leaders such as Julianne Moore, Michelle Obama, Michelle Williams, Kate Bosworth, and Rihanna.
