Lensed at La Bella Lodge in Gisenyi, Rwanda by photographer John Oakley , the campaign exudes the couture collection’s luxurious take on East African wax prints, such as Kitenge, Ntoma, and Liputa.

Ramazani was launched in 2013 by Made In Kigali’s 26-year-old founder and CEO Scorpio Ramazani Khoury , who was profiled at AllAfrica.com this month.

The brand’s first major showcase took place in May 2014 at the African Development Bank ‘s 50th Anniversary in Kigali, Rwanda.
