By Annette Birungi and Natty Dread ZIPER Models leave for Tripoli, Libya today to take part in Libya’s 24th Jamahiriya celebrations. The models will stage a fashion show featuring Uganda’s culture during the five-day celebrations. Sylvia Owori, the Ziper Mode Director, said they were invited by Libyan leader Muammer Gaddafi. Awori said she was surprised by the invitation. “I could not believe a person like Gaddafi to recognise us. I am so glad and honoured to be considered by the great leader,” she said. Awori said she has a crew of over 30 girls who will model the collection she designed for M-Net’s face of Africa. She will stage a show in Kampala soon. Ends
