Katiti Kironde

Katiti Kironde was the first African woman to model on the cover of a women's magazine. As a freshman at Harvard University she was featured on the cover of Glamour's college issue in August 1968. The issue that featured Kironde on the cover remains Glamour's best-selling issue.[1] After graduating from Harvard, Kironde further established herself within the fashion industry over three decades.[2] Kironde launched her eponymous clothing line that focused on designing white shirts along with her husband, architect William Winder, in Boston.[3]

She also taught a non-credit freshman course at Harvard, "An Introduction To Fashion," in 2010.[4]

Kironde is the daughter of Apollo Kironde, who was the first Ambassador to the United Nations from Uganda.[5]
