Award-winning designer Oscar Kampala on building fashion empire, suiting celebrities [Video]

What is the most rewarding thing about your job?

The fulfillment of knowing that you are doing what you are supposed to do. You are serving your purpose.

Do you strictly wear the Oscar Kampala brand?

I only do Oscar Kampala, the only thing we import is fabric. Everything else made here in Uganda.

How much will it cost me for a suit from Oscar Kampala Collection?

We are not very specific because we have a variety to choose from. But the best thing to do is reach out to us via our social media pages, website, or WhatsApp with their inquiries and they will get feedback instantly.

 What makes you stand out among your competitors?

To be honest, we do our best but I feel the best people to answer that are our clients because they probably know something special about us and that’s why they keep coming back.

Who are the African artists that you admire and look up to?

Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido even here there is Otile Brown, KRG just to mention a few.

What is your parting shot?

Fellow Kenyans, (laughs), we need to work together as Africans and there are many reasons for that. Also, do follow, Oscar Kampala and I believe there is something there for everyone.

“Fashion is like eating, you shouldn’t stick to the same menu” random quotes.
