World long distance running champion Lornah Kiplagat on Saturday launched her own sports clothing line in Nairobi in a ceremony presided over by First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.
The Lornah Apparel sporting line, billed as Africa’s first exclusively tailored female sportswear , was praised as a “landmark initiative” by both the First Lady and the elite sports personalities who attended the ceremony.
Taunet Nelel (new beginning) singer, Emmy Kosgei who graced the occasion described Kiplagat's clothing line as another “new beginning”.
The male version of the clothing line will be launched in 2016.
The First Lady said she immediately “fell in love” with the sports apparel when it was first introduced to her by the athlete last year during a High altitude training session in Iten.
She described the apparel as a “true gift for African women”
