Suno New York

Max Osterweis has had a successful year, after more than a decade of collecting textiles during visits to Kenya. The prospect that Kenya's recent post election turmoil might keep foreigners from visiting or investing in a country overflowing with natural resources, talent, and good will became the catalyst to actually do something with those collected fabrics. Building a successful and visible company that employs local Kenyan talent, treats workers fairly, and showcases some of Kenya's artistry, could potentially affect positive and lasting social and economic change. Suno Fall collection, while not the first, was the unofficial debut, and retailers and editors have done nothing but gush ever since. Rachel Bilson was snapped in a Suno bubble-skirted frock, view the pictures below:
