The Abryanz Fashion and Style Awards 2022, themed “The Awakening,” were held at the Kampala Serena Hotel. In a star-studded guest list as well as an incredible array of talented nominees, the show begun with a red carpet show off of glamour and style. Celebrities reinterpreted the theme “The Awakening” in chic and vogueish styles, bringing Africa’s biggest red carpet to life.
The evening brought together the fashion community in order to recognize outstanding individuals who have contributed to its change and revival through the pandemic. This year’s categories covered a wide scope of the fashion fraternity and in celebration of this, many Ugandan and international personalities turned up to celebrate fashion. While categories such as “emerging fashion brands” recognized the fresh, but outstanding fashion brands that made a name in the industry, the “Most Stylish Music Video” category recognized the fashionable efforts of musicians in creating eye catching visuals along their music.
