The story of Suno is the kind that makes brings joy to many. Designer Max Osterweis, whose day job is as a screenwriter and film director in San Francisco, has been collecting traditional East African textiles for over a decade.His objective to bring work to local factories in the struggling Nairobi, Kenya, has commissioned about a thousand pieces to factories that specialize in hotel uniforms.
“Ultimately I’d like to have a full collection, if we can give people jobs and raise the skill level there,” Osterweis says.
The name of the collection is Suno which is available at Opening Ceremony. They range from about $100 to $600, determin
ed in part by the rarity of the print.
What I love about Suno is its rare print. I love designers that bring a rare design to the plate, original designs that you can only find in one place. I love it when fashion designers bring there originality to the world with the hope of making the world a new place. Osterweis plan to help people Kenya and increase the job level and uses there rare prints is a GREAT idea.
