How to attend a Kampala fashion week

Popular Fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, London, and New York are star-studded. A-list celebrities, supermodels, and fashion houses flock to these glamorous events in trendy outfits and statement pieces.

While attention falls on the pieces and bigwigs, there is a way for ordinary folk to attend fashion week and have an amazing time.

One of the upcoming fashion weeks in Kampala is the Kigali-Kampala fashion week.

Fashion week is packed with great content for various groups of people as we will look at below.

Be a fashion editor

As a fashion editor, there is much to cover when it comes to designers, inspiration, and the ambiance of the event for those who didn't attend. Getting an invite is easy if you have a portfolio.

Be an Influencer

Being an influencer has its perks and one of them is a conducive experience at fashion week. Influencers from all walks of the internet have something to offer and receive whether you're a TikTok star or blogger. It certainly is a great networking event.

Work in public relations or volunteer

Fashion week attracts public attention, so it is a great place to boost an image, and reputation or get back into the public eye. Public relations is a busy place when it comes to firms, designers, venues, and brands to publicise. Volunteer to join the team and get a pass to the show.

Be a model

Models are the chief guests at fashion week so get your name out there for an invitation. Research designers and looks at the show to see where you fit. If you're an aspiring model, it is also a great place to start a career.

Be a hair stylist or Makeup artist

Glam experts have their work cut out for fashion week. Prepping models and directing them through looks that fit designers' visions takes a lot of creativity and hard work. Send in your application and get a spot.

Be a photographer

If you have good credentials, you are assured a spot at the end of the runway or anywhere at the event. You could also stand outside the venue and capture the action there.

"Kampala is a sweet city, vibrant with active designers who are hungry to learn and also do their best for the love of the Fashion industry in Uganda, hence this is the best way to create connection and bond since we are close to each other," said John Bynyeshuli, CEO of Kigali Fashion week.

Designers to look forward to include Waya clothing , signature tw , Inkingi design , Koni clothing , John Mark Mukasa , Quiza, and Vinn and Davy K.
