Glamour, scandal & cancelled 7-year deal | Kigali Fashion Week founder John Bunyeshuri exclusive

After a six-year break, Kigali Fashion Week made a spectacular return in May. It lit up the city from the open-air runway at Kigali Universe Bridge to the grand finale at The Pinnacle.

Just months after handing over operational control to Uganda-based LG Events under a highly publicized seven-year MoU, founder John Bunyeshuri reveals that the deal is officially off. Today, we go beyond the premium runway to dig into the friction, the contract fallout, and the future of the brand.
