Oscar Kampala: The Ugandan Fashion Mogul Dressing Africa's Biggest Stars

At just 24, Oscar Kampala has built one of East Africa’s most exciting fashion brands, dressing thousands of students for prom and expanding his suit business across borders. In this Financially Incorrect Uganda Edition, he shares how he started hustling at 8 years old, grew a prom suit side hustle into a company, and managed to balance school with business. Oscar opens up about scaling into Kenya, what money means to him, why African entrepreneurs must learn to work together, and his biggest financial decisions — from buying land to reinvesting every shilling back into the business. He also reflects on his lowest financial point, what sustainability in fashion looks like, and why he won’t yet reveal his net worth.
