Fashion house showcases Rwandan-themed outfits

Last Sunday was a breathtaking evening of style as the Rwanda Clothing Home redefined fashion through a fashion show held at Kigali Serena Hotel’s conference hall. The theme of the event was ‘Rwanda clothing summer show.’ The first set of models cat-walked in style, as they displayed different collections for both men and women which included, among others; evening gowns, casual wear, weekend and summer outfit.As presentations proceeded with the host Lion Manzi, smooth ballads brought about a sensational mood of ‘style’. A true and vivid work of clothing displayed demonstrated the Rwandan culture through the designed outfits. Fifty outfits that were showcased at the show were mostly with African and European print including- transparent, stretch and elastic material transformed into casual and various outfits.The Minister of Trade and Industry, François Kanimba, who was the chief guest lauded the Rwanda Clothing Home for its creative display of style and promised to focus on uplifting all designers in the same industry so as to broaden their market to even the outside world. “I created this in line with the summer because I love summer … the way one dresses in summer from work to a cock-tail event really brings out diverse styles,” said Joselyne Umutoniwase, the managing director of Rwanda Clothing Home Ltd.“I appreciate the sponsors, especially the media for the publicity, Kigali Serena Hotel and the great team I’ve been working with including; the models and the tailors,” she added. “I am also grateful for all the support from my mother and my husband,” she added.“It was a great show,” said Timura Uwase, “The clothes were very diverse and the presentation was also well done, so I was taken by surprise. It’s not what I would have expected.”“I think it was lovely and enjoyable. I liked the fact that it was more of African than European and she knows how to mix the colours,” said Pascal Umunezero.As part of the future plans, Rwanda Clothing Home Ltd plans to launch a charity dubbed ‘Rwanda Clothing Charity under the theme: “Plight for all people”, to distribute clothes to eople, especially school children.
