The Kikoy is a distinctive garment in East Africa, characterized by its rectangular shape and traditionally made from pure cotton. Originating from cultural exchanges between East Africans and trading partners like Oman centuries ago, the Kikoy features hand-rolled fringes and intricate designs that are deeply rooted in East African heritage. With this collection, Kirabo underscores the importance of embracing diversity, stating, “Just as designs flourish from diverse inspirations, embracing diversity in our communities strengthens the fabric of society.” The “Roots” collection is a tribute to the thread that weaves resilience and unity, honoring unique cultural heritage while celebrating the global influences that enrich our world. By incorporating the unique Kikoy style into her contemporary designs, Wyne Kirabo’s “Roots” collection offers a fresh and innovative take on cultural fashion. It highlights the designer’s dedication to celebrating heritage and promoting unity through fashion, reaffirming the enduring appeal of traditional East African craftsmanship in today’s global fashion landscape.
