Kigali Fashion Week is shaping up to be the most influential platform for emerging fashion talent in Rwanda, if their 2017 edition was anything to go by. The event, which held last Saturday at Kigali Hotel played host to local designers, Rwandan designers in the diaspora and also designers from all over the world, from Japan, USA, Congo, Uganda and Burundi.
The runway looks were just as diverse, from tribal prints, stripes and deconstructed designs to floor grazing wedding gowns. Some of the design labels that showcased include Inkanda Designs by Patrick Muhire, HR Boutique, Ahmedy Kamikazi, Umva Designs, YOveta Designs and Rupari Designs among others.
See some of our favourite looks.
