I focused on the fashion designers in Uganda for example Stella Atal, SolomeKatongole, Samson Ssenkaaba, Maciellah, Brenda Nambi, and included some of the craft makers at art craft Uganda along Buganda road since these also contribute to the fashion industry in Uganda. There were a lot of interactions between the researcher and the Ugandan fashion designers and the researcher recorded the different views on the research topic from them during the interactions
