The “Love The Body You’re In” fashion show in Rwanda at the Umubano Hotel in Kacyiru was salvaged by the beautiful fashions that were showcased last Friday night. The show had potential to be spectacular, but logistical confusion and technical difficulties got the best of it. Fortunately fashion came to the rescue. Event organizer and featured designer Patrick Muhire said the show’s goal was to boost self-esteem, foster talent, and develop confidence in Rwandan youth. Despite the lack of presentation and logistical improvements that were necessary to make the show truly a success, “Muhire is determined to continue in his quest to develop a fashion industry in Rwanda. He believes that fashion is a way of helping Rwandan youth to discover and develop confidence in their talent.” (http://allafrica.com/stories/201203050437.html)
