Ugandan student of fashion and design has come up with a unique approach to creating outfits.
Adio Irine Mildred Opio is just in her first year at Tina International School of Beauty in Kampala, however she thinks she has learned enough to be able to transform the fashion industry in the country. She Hails from the West Nile region of Uganda, an area that is still comparatively underdeveloped as a result of being cut off from other regions due to twenty years of armed conflict in Northern Uganda.

Code named "Revolution Outfit", Adio is showcasing her brand of design by creating clothes incorporating leaves, skins, hides, sisal and locally manufactured fabrics.
