The new Edun Fall 2018 collection draws a strong influence from the motorcycle taxis in Kenya. It is the most common form of transportation in Noirobo and the fashion label draws inspiration from its bold boda boda customization. The inspiration is translated through decorative styles and prints on the new fall series.
The Edun Fall 2018 collection livens up the fashion scene with its captivating silhouettes that exude precise cuts and sleek shapes. Some notable details from the selection are the alphabet mudcloth imprinted on cotton twill materials incorporated into a shirt with matching pants, and on a trench coat. That same pattern is also seen on a slipdress printed by hand in South Africa, made from a pink leather. Another standout piece is a coat embellished with wool felt materials for multi-textual effects.
