Unstoppable !
Set in winter solstice, a fashion lover struggling with changing weather and a sexy dress code for a themed reception, tries to reveal a little skin but in warm clothing, employing thick linings to still provide warmth, nothing will stop her from achieving the perfect look, more like how life unpredictably presents situations, not caring what plans one had before, the struggle to deal with the present situation without taking eye off the prize , the unstoppable attitude and spirit we need at times to survive .

FASHION IS POWER
With the power of fashion, we are pushing up the Bark cloth ideation and energy of our ancestors, the way we have come up with a piece that portrays a wonder and mother tree that feeds, provides, supports and beautifies our nation.
At KAS WEAR we always aim at creating ideas, share knowledge to people and change their perspective through exposing African art.
We are looking at a Uganda where people no longer import fabrics but harvest.
