Zed Fashions to host 1st Kitenge Barbeque in the world

The most interesting event in Fashion Industry is about to take place courtesy of Zed Fashions. With lots of fashion houses springing up in Kampala, Zed Fashions has chosen to set itself apart with a unique approach to fashion. Every Zed product is given an African touch and there is no limit to what they can do with African fabric which is commonly known as Kitenge here.

It’s aiming at seeing the transformation of normal shoes, bags, accessories and purses to go through after being wrapped in Kitenge fabric. The Kitenge Barbeque will be the first time the public will have a chance to see Zed’s full product range showcased through a fashion show.

While the cute models will be working the runway, guests will be treated to sticks of Nyama Choma as the event name suggests. A line up of artists like Maro and his friends plus a live band has also been arranged to keep the guests entertained at the fashion show.

Our team talked to Zed and this is what she had to say, “The Kitenge Barbeque is unique because it is the first of its kind in the world, we have started with Uganda but we intend to spread this concept worldwide as an annual event that celebrates the beauty of the Kitenge and its rich

To make the event even more special, Zed fashions has partnered with an NGO known as “Rock of Faith” to use the Kitenge Barbeque as a platform to fundraise and raise awareness for a 10 year old boy named Abdul who was born with an imperforated anus therefore he is constantly passing stool and urine.

His condition has left him stigmatized by other children. He needs 40 million Uganda shillings to undergo a series of surgeries to restore him back to good health and make him enjoy his life like all other children his age.

A percentage of proceeds from the product and ticket sales will go towards this noble cause. So wh ether you are in it for purely fashion or the charity, it all comes to the same thing, your presence will make a difference in young boy’s life.
