From $800 of clothes in a suitcase to a ticket to Milan Fashion Week.

In 2018 one of Joselyne Umutoniwase's biggest dreams came true when she was invited to the Milan Fashion Week

"I didn't know that I could earn serious money with selling my own creations," she says from her business in Kigali.Joselyne bought cheap second-hand items and"separated all the parts to find out where the seams were and how these clothes were made" She bought cheap second-hand items nobody wanted, she says."I separated all the parts to find out where the seams were and how these clothes were made."

"Fashion was an industry that nobody took seriously at that time," she says, and from the banks' point of view,"me as a 24-year-old woman being the founder wasn't very convincing either."
