Martha Jabo – Born and raised in Kampala, Uganda, I have always been influenced by mother in the field of fashion, right from a tender age. As a result of her influence on me in this regard, I developed a strong love for fashion, fabric and garment construction.
Before graduating from Makerere University in January 2012, where I pursued a Bachelor‘s degree in Industrial and Fine Art, majoring in Fashion design, I debuted my first collection at the Afrikan Walk Fashion Awards that were held in Kampala in December 2011.
I have also talked about the Fashion industry in Uganda through the media, covering the challenges young designers face and my zeal to promote the industry.
The Martha Jabo Fashion Label was founded in 2012, and between that time and now, I have had the privilege of designing a substantial range of clothing while engaging/participating in several fashion shows, both local and international.
