<\/a>\u00a0 The 15th of November saw one of Uganda’s home-grown talents, international sustainable fashion designer Jose Hendo<\/strong><\/a> return for its inaugural Kampala Fashion Week.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Taking the audience on the creative journey within her career she showcased a selection from four of her collection starting from her prolific RESONANCE Collection<\/strong><\/a> (purely made from barkcloth) from which the follow up three collections (Contact Deep, Infinity and Spontaneous) are defused.<\/p>\n Hendo<\/strong><\/a> says: “It has been very dear to my heart to showcase at my home country. I was excited to be invited for the biggest fashion event on Kampala’s calendar.”<\/p>\n This was the first of a series of events in Kampala for Jos\u00e9 Hendo<\/strong><\/a>. She held her \u00a0next event in collaboration with Serendip Concept at the Uganda Museum in Kampala last Thursday 20th of November 2014 at 13:30. “Bark 2 The Roots – B2TR<\/strong><\/a>” was conceived as a concept by Jos\u00e9 Hendo<\/strong><\/a> with Winnie Sseruma a journalist, activist and founder of the BAGCI charity 18 months ago. Having it realised this year has been a dream come true for both of them. Facilitated by Serendip.Concept it will feature a collective of Ugandan artists working with Uganda’s UNESCO-<\/strong><\/a>certified cultural heritage material: barkcloth.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n By Melanie Jones\/<\/a><\/strong>PR for Maischna Magazine<\/p>\n
