Fashion Culture | Liya Kebede in conversation with Elizabeth Way

Accomplished supermodel and designer Liya Kebede joined MFIT Assistant Curator of Costume Elizabeth Way on May 8, 2019 to talk about lemlem, Kebede’s collection of women’s, men’s, children’s clothing, and home goods made entirely in Africa. The core collection is handwoven from natural cotton sourced in Kebede’s native Ethiopia. Women artisans are at the heart of lemlem, and the brand is committed to helping them find health care, education, and jobs through the lemlem Foundation.
