We created a floral Runway adorned with various types of flowers, where models showcased designs inspired by local fashion designers and made from creativity behind flower decoration. Our setting was in Bk Arena venue adorned with elaborate floral arrangements " said Mr. John Bunyeshuli CEO and founder of the Kigali Fashion Week/Kigali International Fashion Week.
