Miss World Uganda Gown Turns C-Section Layers Into Couture
Miss World Uganda Muhoza Trivia Elle wore a special dress called “Layers of Life.”
Designer Keesha Abdallah created it for the World Designer Award.
The dress was inspired by the seven layers doctors encounter during a C-section.
Its colours and fabric layers show different parts of the childbirth journey.
Abdallah also used ideas from her own experience as a new mother.
She studied images and details about C-sections to develop the design.
She said the colours were not meant to show a particular race or skin colour.
Instead, the gown celebrates childbirth, motherhood and life as experiences shared by everyone.
Miss World Uganda Muhoza Trivia Elle wore the “Layers of Life” gown at the World Designer Award.
Ugandan designer Keesha Abdallah based the gown on the seven anatomical layers encountered during a C-section.
The ombré gown uses colour progression, layered construction and textures to portray stages of childbirth.
Abdallah drew on her experience as a new mother and research into childbirth imagery while creating it.
She said the colours represent stages and transitions, not race or skin colour, and described life as universal.

Quotes
Keesha Abdallah
Designer of the Layers of Life gown
“When we began creating this gown, race or skin colour was never part of the conversation. Our starting point was simply a woman and the incredible layers of the body she carries within her layers we all share, regardless of where we come from or what colour our skin is.””

“Each colour and layer was chosen to represent a stage, a texture, or a transition within that story not to represent a particular race. And that is precisely why we called it ‘The Layers of Life,’”
