UNDER-APPRECIATED LOCAL DESIGNERS

In a welcomingly growing trend of local brands supporting each other, we applaud the efforts of leading model agency Strut It Afrika. The company, under CEO Moses Mukiibi, is going to do something few other modelling agencies in the region have attempted…

Strut It Afrika models will, starting this year, only wear locally made designs to all local and international runways they strut down. 

‘We Love supporting our Local Designers. Especially the Up-coming ones who need all the help they can get,’ said Mr. Mukiibi as he issued his statement on Strut It Afrika’s Facebook page, ‘If you are a Designer, and you have the talent to make pieces that have that African touch & still very Trendy, then contact us asap!’

The company seeks to purchase at least 34 pieces from each designer it picks, starting with BIFA graduate Kyoko Masemo, who was selceted to spearhead the forray. Designers from Uganda and Tanzania are also welcome to submit their designs.
