FASHION SCRAPBOOK - Rwandan fashion

Although Rwanda does not have a fashion school, Mugabo says the tragic history of her family has made her more determined to follow her desire to be a designer. "When I was doing graphic design in college, my parents asked, what is she doing?" says the 23-year-old, who studied in the US and interned at Teen Vogue. "Fashion is a luxury here.
