"A fashion show isn’t a unique concept, it’s been done, but no one does it like us” – Kampala Fashion Week's PR Director - Melinda Wavamunno shares relevant insights in this special even, though recorded pre-Corona times.

“Our team was working on developing our 7th edition | September 2020, aiming to push our boundaries & change our audience experience. With all the changes of these times, it became clear this years’ KFW would have to be postponed. We have chosen to use this situation as a learning opportunity for increased consciousness of our industry and the role it plays in our society. 

We believe the industry at large is closer than ever to a destination we have supported since our inception - to source and create locally, respect African craft and protect and adapt to our environment. 

As we navigate the way forward we are committed to ensure our platform continues to support the business of African fashion, Art and provide a meaningful experience for everyone involved. Thank you for all your support. #Staysafe #covid19” KFW.
