The 2019 Collections Issue

The Boldest Looks of The Season, Modeled By The Models To Watch

By  | 

Dressing this season doesn’t have to be a hustle, if the new collections are anything to go by. A mix and match of prints, pops of colours and a number of dreamy gowns. Our cast, the models to watch this season, model the looks on location at Levels Lounge & Restaurant, in Kampala, photographed by Tessa Lwanga.

Bold In Africa

Bold in Africa brought a mix of honey coloured silks and retro vibes.

Gloria Wavamunno

Balancing feminine and masculine was this whole collection’s vibe and the effortlessness of the execution was worth noting. The artisan work on the head cage and wooded purse brought an extra oomph to the pieces.

Kai’s Divo Collection

There was that sense of balance; light with heavy, gentle and strong, black and white with pieces from Kai’s Divo Collection.
