Camping is fun for most but it can be tricky for a city girl who is used to her glamorous comforts. Fortunately, there are now ways of experiencing the joys of camping without foregoing life's little pleasures.
Camping, in the form of 'glamping' can be luxurious and Sumayah Mbabazi has just the designs for it.

The inspiration for her final collection, when she graduated from Coleg Sir Gar, came from her desire to add an edge and sophistication to camping.
In an interview with OneVybe, Sumayah said that she was looking closely at festivals and 'glamping' trends.
From that, she designed an apparel range, which uses a layering of fabrics and clashing patterns such as digitally printed cottons and sports mesh.

She said, "The silhouettes combine traditional sportswear elements with more innovative techniques, providing an unique apparel range.
"The practicality of the pieces was of importance and has been reflected throughout."
Sumayah's collection is of unmistakable quality and she combined her interest for trend driven fashion to create some striking final pieces.

On how she selected her materials, Sumayah said, "By researching the current materials most designers use."
She then puts her own stamp on the designs in subtle but effective ways and this includes the print she designed for on of her pieces.
