Unless previously told, you would never fathom that clothes from the Kilakitu Kenyan Cowboy Collection were made from second-hand clothes. The pockets, sleeves, and cuffs are richly detailed in various patterns. Colors used in this line definitely have a traditional African flare and range from white to bright turquoise.

Kilakitu is a newly launched clothing manufacturer. Not only do they make impressive original African apparel, but check out their models. Kilakitu models look like real, everyday men. Some are tall and thin, others are bald or balding, and even a somewhat chunky fellow is used. In Western countries, we never see designers having their precious styles displayed on average people.

I really hope the best for the Kilakitu company’s second-hand clothing cowboy line. May they also rock the world of Western fashion designers, and inspire them to use real people as models too.

Bart sez, " I'm a Canadian living in East Africa and we make cowboy shirts in Kenya from secondhand clothes that end up in the marketplaces. This link is to our brand spanking new website which has 58 one-of-a-kind Kenyan cowboy shirts. Each one tells a story and some have some really cool model shots. There are some videos of fabric hunts, fashion shows and interviews with the tailors." (boingboing.net)
