Amito Queen for Gloria Wavamunno
Ugandan model Kiara Kabukuru in an editorial for Elle (US) in June 1994 titled ‘Field Of Dreams’ and photographed by Gilles Bensimon in Marrakech, Morocco.
This is one of my most favourite fashion editorials as rarely do we see these carefree ‘shoots involving dark-skinned black women, and whenever Western magazines shoot in foreign locations involving local subjects in the ‘shoot, they are often merely used as agent-less props which is not the case in this spread.
There’s also the inclusion of Africans of different hues in an African location, which I love.
However, I’m yet to discover the name of Kabukuru’s photoshoot partner.
Various magazine covers that Ugandan model Kiara Kabukuru has graced the covers of including: UK magazine i-D, Vogue US, Espana and Deutsch, Elle UK, Frank, Oyster and Jones.

Emmanuel Bagwana, known as Urban Stylin on the tFS forums, is one of those members who have already established themselves in the fashion industry while still remaining active on the forums as a valuable contributor.
Emmanuel not only designs for his own fashion label, Eguana Kampala, he also works as a photo editor and as a freelance fashion writer and has dabbled in commercial modeling.
Emmanuel is 33 years old and is based in Kampala, which is the capital of Uganda. His résumé is impressive, to say the least. He says he always knew he wanted to be a fashion designer from a young age due to being inspired by the stylish females in his family. He went to fashion school in Kenya and started his own label — for which he designs womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and even bridal fashion — soon after.
In addition to that, he also works for a photo studio called Glamour Images in Kampala and he specializes in retouching wedding photos. He has also landed many commercial modeling gigs, starring in campaigns for various banks and telecommunication companies in Uganda.
