Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>RENOWNED FASHION DESIGNER Francis Iraguha has bounced back with various new designs in the \u2018Ijambo\u2019 collection. Based in Rwanda, Francis Zahabu is a fashion brand owned by Francis Iraguha since 2010. Iraguha started his career as a stylist and followed his passion for creating his brand. He is a renowned fashion designer and a renowned actor in many famous series like City maid.<\/p>\n

Following a hiatus, Francis Zahabu Brand recently unveiled a new collection named \u2018Ijambo collection,\u2019 which Iraguha claims depicts his feelings and how he remains hopeful in all he does.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to continue the journey I started because I have to keep leveling up Zahabu brand in the fashion industry,\u201d said Iraguha.<\/p>\n

The whole collection was released in September. There\u2019s always a showcase for every different design each Tuesday and Friday, which Francis said has attracted a lot of attention from the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new collection has a touch of our culture to it, and we can wear it wherever,\u201d Iraguha said of the new collection. Some of the Francis Zahabu collections that have been popular are; \u2018Zahabu\u2019 in 2010, \u2018Ducyenyere\u2019 in 2012 and, \u2018Signature\u2019 in 2014 to 2016.<\/p>\n

As the fashion business in Rwanda continues to expand at a fast pace, the artist is resuming his career with unique designs. \u201cAs a fashion designer, I got the grace to know God along the way, which made me realise that all my achievements are thanks to him, and I will achieve more,\u201d said Iraguha when asked about his inspiration to create.<\/p>\n

He added that his everyday life and the status quo of Rwanda\u2019s fashion industry are among the things that inspired him to come up with the Ijambo collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to change the image of the Francis Zahabu brand in people\u2019s eyes and show them that they can wear good local designs anywhere anytime,\u201d said Iraguha.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to normalise wearing an outfit expressing our culture, not necessarily going for a special event,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Iraguha mentioned that he would continue pursuing and enjoying God\u2019s gift to him, plus contributing to the Made in Rwanda initiative at any cost any time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always believed we will achieve big since day one. I fight to see Francis Zahabu becoming a big brand at an international level,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

The artist said there are big plans ahead, including helping young minds achieve big things in the Rwandan fashion industry. \u201cOne day, my country and I will achieve sustainable and constant progress in the fashion business,\u201d Iraguha said. After more than a month of showcasing his new collection, the showcasing will end in three weeks.<\/p>\n
