Ugandan Fashion Designer Expresses Joy After Showcasing BOLD Collection in Spain

Celebrated Ugandan fashion designer Wyne Kirabo recently shared her gratitude following a successful showcase of her latest collection in Spain. In a heartfelt LinkedIn post, Kirabo reflected on her philosophy of success and unveiled glimpses of her new BOLD collection.

Responding to a Spanish magazine interview about the key to business success, Kirabo emphasized a fundamental principle: love. "Some would call it passion, others excellence, dedication, attention to detail, or being meticulous," she explained. "I prefer to encompass it all in one word as simple, as universal, and as powerful as love."

The showcase, held at the Desfilem per La Marato TV3 catwalk in Spain under the Piùbella Models Agency umbrella, featured behind-the-scenes moments captured by photographer Yerafain. The event marked another milestone for the Barcelona-based designer, who has been accumulating accolades across Africa and Europe.

Kirabo's impressive achievements include winning the Asfas Awards' Best Emerging Designer Africa 2022 and being named among "20 Young African Creatives to Know" by The Africa Report in 2023. Her expertise has been recognized in academic circles, leading to speaking engagements at the University of Barcelona's Intercultural Communication and International Business programs in 2024.

Further cementing her influence in the fashion industry, Kirabo serves as a member of the FDP jury at the University of Girona's Qstura program for 2023-2024. She was also nominated for the prestigious Top 40 Under 40 by Uganda's New Vision newspaper in 2024.

The successful presentation of the BOLD collection, combined with the designer's growing international recognition, suggests a promising trajectory for Wyne Kirabo House in 2025. Her team's dedication and shared vision continue to push boundaries in the fashion industry, bridging African creativity with European haute couture.

As her fashion house gains momentum, the BOLD collection stands as a testament to her innovative approach and cross-cultural appeal.
