Kenya’s Blankets & Wine festival announced major improvements ahead of its December edition after facing criticism over operational challenges in September. During its 17th anniversary event in Nairobi, organizers said an independent architectural team is redesigning venue flow to improve comfort, accessibility, and safety. They also confirmed ongoing refunds for duplicate payments and said internal audits have strengthened operations. The team emphasized rebuilding trust as excitement grows for the “Kenyan Summer 2025” lineup reveal.

Kenyan arts, fashion, and music featured prominently during the British High Commission’s celebration of King Charles III’s birthday in Nairobi. More than 1,000 guests attended the event, held under the UK/Kenya Season 2025 cultural program, which highlights creativity and cultural exchange between the two countries. Designers and musicians showcased local talent as officials noted the role of culture in strengthening bilateral ties. The celebration also reflected growing collaboration across education, technology, climate, and innovation.

Kenyan model Magdalene Takangiro, who recently walked at Paris Fashion Week, will lead the runway at the Africa’s Next Super Model finale on Nov. 22 in Nairobi. Organizers said the event follows talent scouting in Samburu. Takangiro, a Clinical Medicine student at Kabarak University, debuted internationally after joining Isis Models Africa. She credited her progress to mentorship and said the platform continues to uplift emerging African talent as anticipation builds for the competition.
