This collection and new clothing line is titled " The Cycle of Rebirth. The idea behind this collection came into action after Niyitanga 's creativity and imagination continue to grow as well as to adopt sustainable development of his business, especially in maintaining the waste from all his imported raw materials such as pieces of fabrics and beads.
"I've been taking leftovers of the different pieces of clothes, matching them, designing them, and making clothes instead of throwing them away, and reminds me of my mother who was very conservative," said Niyitanga

Niyitanga revealed that part of his confidence in his fashion career came from her mother whom he learned from the basics such as measuring, cutting, and tailoring. He added that his mother is the one who opened his eyes to focus on fashion designing and sewing which is now his daily job. " I am happy and very confident of my lovely mother and that is why I named this collection from her memories. She is the one who gave me the gift of sewing and designing, here we are now" Niyitanda added
