Ryan Ichanghai, known in the fashion industry as RJ, has announced an upcoming homecoming tour spanning from December to January, aimed at rejuvenating his ties to Kenya.
The founder and creative director of the fashion brand Kiroho seeks to engage with local audiences while showcasing the evolution of his work in fashion. With a history steeped in passion for design, RJ emphasizes that fashion transcends mere aesthetics. He states, “I’ve always had a passion for cool fashion stuff,” and elaborates that dressing is a personal act of self-expression.
His brand embodies this philosophy by creating pieces that resonate personally with wearers. RJ’s brand development was influenced by a desire to connect with individuals who share his vision. He notes the importance of merging style with substance, aiming to craft a brand that reflects both individuality and artistic expression.
His creative inspiration is drawn from a vibrant community of fellow artists, whose commitment to their crafts continues to motivate his pursuit of innovative fashion.

Featuring a packed itinerary, RJ will engage in media appearances and community events designed to elevate Kiroho’s profile and articulate his vision for fashion as an art form. A notable highlight of the tour includes a comprehensive media initiative, where RJ will not only promote his brand but also debut an exclusive song inspired by Kiroho.
