Kenyan Stylist Zedekiah Lukoe Makes Moves in L.A.

My buddy and Blackbird Designer and Stylist Zedekiah Lukoe will officially be dressing Hollywood star Michael K. Williams for the Black History is American History project on the BET network. You'll recognize Williams from shows such as The Wire and Boardwalk Empire.

I am exceedingly proud of Zeddy for the inroads he is making in the fashion industry State-side. His keen sense of bespoke men's tailoring, attention to detail, and that old-fashioned sensibility of dressing really well at all times, makes this Kenyan export one to watch out for in coming seasons. Blackbird menswear (founded by Zedekiah and business partner Sidney Owino) has already earned critical acclaim on local and American runways and was one of the first Kenyan menswear labels to usher in well-tailored blazers in African prints and textures.

The proof is in the pudding. Zeddy lives his craft.
