BREAKING NEWS - The Artist Known As L'AKOT


It was a sunday evening and thus far I was vibsing to the sounds of Hayley C and Swiss liasing with fashionista's, entrepreneurs, professionals, students, grads, kings and beautiful queens. Yet the most memorable part of the evening was bumping into the talented fashion designer L'Akot. Her originality sandwiched in between her vibrant, picturesque designs leave an imprint on the mind. Her work ethic combine with talent is an evident sign that its only a matter of time before she is on the fashion industries frontline.

Addicted to sweets and born in Uganda, My name is Brenda Akot, I’m 23, I live in Surrey, and I’m a Fashion Designer.


I have a Degree in Fashion Design Technology; Designer Pattern Cutter; Womenswear, from The University of Arts, London.


My label is ‘L’ AKOT’, which means ‘Luck’ in my country of origin, Uganda.

I would describe my art as I would describe my personality; I’m Traditional, with a twist of Avant-Garde. I am Luminous, Unconventional, Meticulous and Attainable. These are the very few words I can use to describe me as a whole.


From the very young age of 12, I have always been very ambitious, having the understanding of who I wanted to be in the future. I wanted to be an artist, but didn’t know I would specialise in fashion. I enjoy anything that involves art, whether that is music from N.E.R.D to Funky House, photography, modeling at London Fashion Week or Just Fashion!


I am a creative individual with ‘RAW’ talent waiting for ‘THAT’ opportunity. So watch this space!!

L'Akot shall be teaming up with London South Bank ACS King Adam Greaves & Queen Tricia Jules.
