The entertainment industry and the fashion world have been interlinked for hundreds, if not thousands of years. However, what probably started as getting dressed up for the theater has evolved into intertwined fortunes in which entertainment drives fashion, and fashion drives entertainment. Television shows, cinema and music aren’t just outlets for creativity anymore, they have become outlets for fashion to such an extent that fashion, in some cases, has become the driving force behind the “creativity” of entertainment.
Obviously, one of the big stepping-stones in the evolution of this semi-symbiotic relationship was the advent of the star. Stepping out on the red carpet at award ceremonies, theater opening nights and film premiers in the latest couture dresses and tailor made designer suits meant that stars from all areas of the entertainment industry have become conduits for the delivery of the latest fashions to the mass media.
The Abryanz Style & Fashion Awards, commonly known as the ASFAs return on the 16th of December 2022 at Kampala Serena Hotel after two years for the “8th ASFAs” to celebrate groundbreaking fashion creatives, influencers and contributors across Africa and beyond that have shaped the fashion industry through the pandemic, under the theme “The Awakening”.
Over the past few weeks, the team has carefully selected the nominees for this year’s event, from the thousands of entries received since the nomination process kicked off last month. This coveted list was unveiled last Sunday, 13th November 2022 at the Kampala Brunch.
“Special appreciation goes out to everyone that nominated, got nominated and participated in the process. We do not take this kind of effort and support for granted. The team had to look through over 5,000 nominations in the various nomination platforms and we now proudly present the final list of ASFA 2022 Nominees. Come December 16th, we therefore, promise another mind-blowing experience at Africa’s biggest fashion event,” Brian Ahumuza, the ASFAs Chief Executive noted.
Winners will be announced during the live Abryanz Style & Fashion Awards show at Kampala Serena Hotel. The results of the Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards, including winners and nominees, are solely dependent on the ASFA Body
