Ruth first studied business management. A lecturer then encouraged her to pursue fashion design after seeing how she already dressed the world around her. That choice became Upie Collection, a brand rooted in quality, exclusivity, and sophistication.
Her clients include Malawi’s fashion elite, from celebrities and politicians to executives. On the runway, her work champions inclusivity: different bodies, unlimited possibilities.
“Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges.” Fashion as a force for a more inclusive society, where creativity knows no boundaries.
