Fashion is taking the lead at POATE 2025, and IGC, the cutting-edge fashion label, co-founded by the creative maestro Katende Godfrey, has been named the official fashion curator for the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo, happening May 21st–24th at Speke Resort Munyonyo.

IGC is set to steal the spotlight with their “Evolution of Lubugo” collection—a tribute to Uganda’s cultural heritage and sustainable fashion. From barkcloth to bold couture, this isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s a cultural awakening.

  • On May 24th, IGC brings it home with a takeover of the Culture Corner, featuring collaborative pieces with designers supported by the British Council—plus another electric runway show!

But fashion’s just the start. POATE 2025 will also feature:

  • Live performances from Blu 3, Winnie Nwagi, Ssuna Ben, Aliddeki Brian
