A model presents a creation by Kenyan designer Jamil Walji at a fashion show held during the Fourteenth Session of United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD 14) in Nairobi, Kenya, 19 July 2016. The fashion industry in Kenya has seen tremendous changes over the years as more people continue to embrace Western and other cultures. According to a recent report by the Association of Fashion Designers of Kenya (AFAD), the fashion and textile industry accounted for 30 percent of all manufacturing employment in Kenya at its peak in the 1980s. The report as well indicates that 95 percent of products made in Kenya from the Export Processing Zones (EPZ) in 2014 were sold to the US for 400 million dollars, and only 1.5 percent in the East African Community. Most fashion talents in Kenya are self-employed although over 80 percent are reportedly not certified by the Kenya Bureau of Standards and 60 percent are operating from their homes as unregistered entities.
