ABOUT THE EVENT

Mission Plan:

The Abryanz Style & Fashion Awards is well-known globally for the role it plays in advocacy and convening dialogues around social issues about the Business of Fashion in Africa and its sustainability. This is usually achieved through the use of Workshops, High-Profiled Speakers and Summits around fashion in Africa.

Coming back after 2 years, ASFAs presents a 3-day Fashion Weekend. The event reflects on how the fashion industry has gone through many changes in the last years. We saw big brands with a lot of resources struggling to navigate this new normal, and thought; how much harder can it be for local, small and medium enterprises?

“To be a young designer navigating the markets, especially after the pandemic is not easy. This fashion  weekend  is  a  platform  for  young  creatives  who  seek  for  futuristic  opportunities  to collaborate  and  amplify  their  brands,  or  simply  better  understand  the  markets”  said  Brian Ahumuza, the CEO of Abryanz Style & Fashion Awards.

This  year  the  ASFA’s  contributes  to  the  sustainability  of  local  brands  through  the  ASFA Fashion weekend. Every year is kicked off with a diverse theme that becomes an imperative element to the main show. This year, the launch comes back with a 3-day event, the “ASFA FASHION WEEKEND” under the theme “The Awakening”. The ASFA Fashion Weekend will take place on the 11th, 12th and 13th   of November 2022 at MoTIV. While the public will enter for free, designers and all exhibitors that are interested in showcasing their fashionable works are  invited to book their space through +256 784-106872 / +256 782-062428.

Through this Fashion Weekend, the first day will see business owners, artists and all fashion creatives exhibiting their work, while engaging in dialogues with fellow creatives and fostering collaborations. The second day will be a workshop where fashion influencers and business thought leaders will give keynote presentations. Our panel of experts engage the audience in discussions, testimonials, Q&A sessions inspiring them to take on  global markets. The third day  will  be  the  announcement  of  nominees  for  the  Abryanz  Style  and  Fashion  Awards happening on 16th  December at Kampala Serena Hotel.
