Ugandan fashion icon and visionary Oscar Kampala is once again making headlines — this time with his most ambitious project yet. The 24-year-old entrepreneur has officially revealed plans for his next groundbreaking initiative, “7,000 Men,” scheduled to take place in 2026.
Following the massive success of his previous events, “300 Men” and “1,000 Men,” this next chapter is set to become Africa’s largest youth-driven empowerment and networking experience, blending style, purpose, and leadership on a never-before-seen scale.
From 300 to 7,000 — The Rise of a Visionary Movement
What began as a small gathering of stylish, ambitious young men has evolved into a continental revolution of purpose and identity.
The first event, “300 Men,” brought together a few hundred fashion-forward dreamers who believed in dressing with purpose and thinking with vision. Its success inspired “1,000 Men,” which turned into a full-scale movement — merging fashion, mentorship, and leadership conversations under one roof.
Now, “7,000 Men” promises to amplify that vision across Africa. Kampala describes it as more than just an event — it’s a call to redefine what it means to be a modern African man in today’s global economy.
“This is not just about fashion. It’s about thinking differently, leading boldly, and creating opportunities for others,” Oscar said during the official announcement.
Fashion Meets Purpose: Empowering the Next Generation
Oscar Kampala’s journey is one of resilience, innovation, and inspiration. At only 24, he has become one of Africa’s leading names in youth empowerment — blending entrepreneurship, mentorship, and fashion into a single, purpose-driven movement.
His brand’s philosophy is clear: “Success isn’t just about dressing well — it’s about thinking well.”
Through “7,000 Men,” he aims to gather thousands of young Africans from across the continent — visionaries, creatives, and innovators — for a once-in-a-lifetime experience focused on building networks, sharing opportunities, and fostering leadership.
The event is expected to feature:
- High-level mentorship sessions with African business leaders and creatives
- Entrepreneurship panels exploring digital innovation and brand growth
- Networking experiences connecting youth from across nations
- And of course, a fashion showcase that celebrates Africa’s elegance and identity

A Call to Build Africa’s Future
Oscar’s message through “7,000 Men” is simple but powerful — Africa’s future lies in the hands of its youth.
By using fashion as the foundation, he’s creating a movement that transcends clothing and taps into something deeper: self-belief, discipline, and collaboration.
“The ‘7,000 Men’ movement is not just an event — it’s a call to action. We’re building communities, sharing opportunities, and defining leadership for a new generation,” Oscar stated.
This ambitious project aims to bridge cultural divides, unite African youth, and position the continent’s creative industry as a global powerhouse.
The Journey to 2026 — What’s Next for Oscar Kampala
While the official venue for the 2026 event is still under wraps, excitement is already sweeping across social media. Influencers, entrepreneurs, and young professionals from Kampala to Lagos, Nairobi to Johannesburg are already calling it “the movement of the decade.”
If the previous “Men” events are anything to go by, attendees can expect breathtaking visuals, powerful keynotes, and a deep sense of unity — all driven by Kampala’s vision to create a platform where fashion meets leadership.
The event will also focus on digital inclusion, encouraging young Africans to leverage technology to tell their stories, grow their businesses, and shape their futures.
A Continental Vision Born in Uganda
Oscar Kampala’s rise from a young designer to a continental icon embodies the African dream.
His influence extends beyond the runway — he has become a symbol of what it means to turn creativity into a cause. Whether it’s styling global celebrities or mentoring youth, Oscar continues to prove that the modern African creative can be both fashion-forward and purpose-driven.
“7,000 Men” isn’t just a number — it’s a vision of collective strength, style, and brotherhood.
