{UAH} Buganda Fashion Through The Ages.

This is a series of portraits that I was blessed to capture at the Makerere University Annual Cultural Gala last year (2013). These portraits take you back in time  more than 200 years ago to see the birth, growth to the present fashion wear and styles of the “Baganda” of Buganda Kingdom (the most dominant tribe in central Uganda).  To date the kingdom still stands.

And some of the faces you are about to see are members of the “Nkoba Za Mbogo” an association of Baganda students at the famous Makerere University Kampala( Uganda) that have over the time seen victory however this time ( 2013) the Bakonjo emerged victors of the annual cultural gala.

Well take take a look at these…….
