Kampala Fashion Week (KFW) was set up to promote Ugandan and African fashion designers in a global market.
The main activity is to support and
strengthen Uganda and other East African countries’ reputation for
developing design excellence. The main event takes place this weekend.
The grand finale taking place tomorrow
