I discovered another amazing designer with a tailoring background. Owner of Ubwiza Fashion House, located in Kisementi, Malaika quit her full time job to focus on her love for making beautiful clothes. Malaika and I finally found some time to catch up last Tuesday after we both kept having to reschedule. I hope you’ve started off your week on a bright note.

In an industry where more people are wearing tailored outfits, she took 2 years to build Ubwiza Fashion House into a brand loved and worn so many today. Her determination and passion drove me to share with you her beautiful creations. What stood out most from our chat was this “Tailoring offers beauty and uniqueness which is what Ugandans need to understand.” Here’s our chat, with outfits we paired from her shop…enjoy 🙂

Karen: What sources most regularly spark creative inspiration for you?

Malaika: Inspiration for me comes from all sorts…
