Fashion lovers and enthusiasts were treated to an evening of fashion showcases inspired by Uganda’s culture and heritage on Friday. This was at the invite-only Black Creations fashion show which was hosted at Imperial Royale Hotel.
The event was held in partnership with the Presidential Initiative on Skilling the Girl Child Project to officially launch the Black Creations Collection clothing line in Uganda.
Held under the theme, “Uganda’s Fashion Renaissance”, models showcased different designs which included Brand Uganda collection (inspired by Uganda’s colours and culture), Ready to wear collection (inspired by Uganda’s flora), and corporate collection (inspired by Uganda’s business community) among others.
In his remarks, Dr. Joseph Tonye Brown, the brains behind the Black Creations Collection, revealed that the collection is aimed at spearheading Pan Africanism not only in Uganda but on the entire African continent and overseas by telling the African story through fashion.
He further noted that this is in line with the President’s deliberate efforts to encourage patriotism through the “Buy Uganda, Build Uganda” ideology.
During the event, guests were also treated to entertainment from Kenneth Mugabi, Lillian Mbabazi and Sandra Suubi among others in-between the showcases.
The fashion show was hosted by Malaika Nnyanzi and Roger Mugisha.
