Do not under estimate the beauty of Hijab fashion from Africa, especially when combined with the appropriate designs. These inspiring Ugandan designers, most likely embedded in the Muslim communities of the country, may not have been seen on the regular runway shows we publish, but were still beyond impressive.
They unleashes their designs onto the audience dawned by women of all shapes and sizes. In the mix were kidswear, menswear, bridal wear and more. But most of all a sense of conservatism lined through our the woven creativity of the Ugandan fashionistas.
