Fashion enthusiasts in Malindi to explore opportunities
Malindi is stepping into the spotlight as a new fashion destination in Kenya. The town recently hosted the Malindi Moda fashion show, an event designed to attract designers and tourists alike. Founder Imendle Vadazs hopes to transform the coastal town into a thriving hub for fashion and tourism.
The latest Malindi Moda fashion show took place at Lions Luxury Eco Resort and Spa. Seven designers presented their collections, including Christine Omollo, Creative Director of Tomollo Fashions. Omollo used the platform to promote Malindi as a fresh destination for fashion lovers.
Imendle Vadazs, a Kenyan fashion entrepreneur, launched Malindi Moda in 2019. His goal is to position the town as Kenya’s next major fashion centre. By blending fashion with tourism, he aims to draw more visitors to the area. Local investor Tommaso Menini sees potential in Malindi’s cultural heritage. He believes the fashion industry can highlight the town’s traditions while appealing to modern travellers. The event has already sparked interest among fashion enthusiasts exploring new opportunities in the region.
The Malindi Moda show is part of a broader effort to boost the town’s tourism sector. With fashion events gaining traction, designers and visitors are taking notice. The initiative could reshape Malindi’s economy by linking its cultural roots with contemporary style.
