Kenyan socialite, Huddah Monroe is making money moves back in the US – and this time, it’s all in the name of high fashion as one of L.A.’s most stylish global transplants. The C.E.O of the famous Huddah Cosmetics, is gracing the Harper’s Bazaar’s limited edition September 2019 issue, posing in a stunning gown to look like the ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ movie women. The cover shot captures Huddah in a faux fur purple shiny gown posing on a bike with a basket of flowers. Huddah also goes African with her short natural hair look,Huddah Monroe is rocking a Michael Kors Collection jacket and dress; Hermès bag; Jimmy Choo sandals; Mark’s Garden floral arrangement; Martone Cycling Co. bike.

Tina Brad wanted Miss World Vanessa Ponce De Leon, to grace the event dressed in an outfit that embodied comfort, tradition, in fashion and elegance. The gown was masterfully designed to showcase a chic and modern look inspired by the Gomesi, a traditional attire famous in the Central region of Uganda since 1940.

The London premiere of the 2019 Disney classic remake happened last night (14.07.19) in London and when pictures were uploaded on various social media platforms Kenyans could not help but notice the Magical Kenya logo on the yellow banner that was the background of almost every photo from the event.

Looks simple right? It’s not. That black binding you see is leather. Actual leather, not faux leather (check out my future article on how to tell the difference). The pocket square is also leather. Oh, and it’s not a pocket square, it’s a pocket circle. And the pants also have a leather waistband. My first ever suit and I could not be more in love with it. The compliments flowed on gala night, but to be honest I was not really fishing for them.

The preservation of the designer’s African heritage lies at the heart of the brand, and even the name Fiu Negru is a nod to the past. Having been named Angolan Fashion Designer of the Year in 2015 by Moda Luanda, the brand continues to grow and spread its reach.
