THE NAIROBIAN

The Nairobian is a collection made to show off Nairobi as a similarly global city to New York, at least relatively in terms of aspiration and resourcefulness: a gathering place of intellectual ideas, artists, traders, labourers, and the full breadth of the human experience as I’d experienced growing up there. The collection’s title is in direct juxtaposition to The New Yorker, a weekly magazine famous for its illustrated magazine covers, topical line drawing comics, and overall clearly New York brand identity with customers.
