Alice's Story
Alice Patrick grew up in Rwanda and spent many happy years making her own clothes gaining inspiration from her grandmother who was a wonderful seamstress. However in 1994, Alice was forced to escape from Rwanda's horrific genocide where she lost her entire family in the massacre.

Despite the unimaginable atrocities Alice experienced, she feels lucky and has an amazing outlook on life. After migrating to Australia, her passion for clothing and fashion continued. The first few years here saw Alice being a successful model who then went on to train as a make-up artist. However a sewing machine was never far from her reach and Alice realised one of her biggest dreams by launching her own fashion label.




Beautiful Girl
Alice wanted to create a range which reflected her own style. As a vibrant, social butterfly, Alice loves to feel beautiful, as does any woman and this inspired her to call her label 'MWASI KITOKO' meaning 'BEAUTIFUL GIRL'. "I wanted whoever wearing my garments to feel beautiful."
