There are now more people here than ever before strutting in urban wear made out of vibrant African prints. If you look closely or ask around the fashion circles about the brand name behind them, one will stand out – Renzioni Hill.
Lawrence Eli Okoronkwo, a Ghanaian currently based in Kampala, is the man behind the brand and the revolution. He is the CEO and co-founder of Renzioni Hill. Almost everybody calls him Renzioni because he has become the face of hippy African wear on Kampala’s social scene.
Class attracts class; so, people who love the urban African print look hit ‘Bold’ at Acacia mall and Emin Pasha stores that stock Renzioni Hill for the latest from the designer line. Artistes Ekky, Exodus and rapper Gasuza, TV presenters Jaylor Birungi (WBS) and Sheila Gashumba (NTV) are some of the known personalities who have lapped up his creations.
Renzioni first arrived here in 2010, as his parents were working here. Since then, he has been on and off, travelling the world and back to his home country, Nigeria, where he grew up. Getting Renzioni to speak about his background and family is like squeezing the proverbial rock for water. He is quite reticent when it comes down to particular detail.
