BUZIGAHILL FW26
BUZIGAHILL’s Fall Winter 2026 collection, RETURN TO SENDER 12, presented at Berlin Fashion Week, offered a powerful reflection on memory, reclamation, and cultural ownership. Part of the label’s ongoing Return to Sender project, the collection draws inspiration from the optimism and cultural energy of East Africa in the 1960s and 70s, reimagining that spirit through a contemporary lens. Past and present meet through silhouettes that feel both nostalgic and current, reshaped for today.
Designer Bobby Kolade focuses on how second-hand garments from the Global North are reclaimed and transformed by local communities, such as boda boda riders, who adapt clothing through creativity and necessity. Wide collars, flared trousers, and liberated shapes evoke autonomy and self-determination, linking historical freedom to modern identity.
Beyond aesthetics, the collection confronts textile colonialism, ownership, and global inequality. Through deconstructed forms and repurposed materials, RETURN TO SENDER 12 reframes discarded clothing as carriers of personal and cultural meaning, positioning the collection as both fashion and social commentary.
