Here’s All the Nominees For The 2018 Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards

• On Saturday, 27^th October, 2018 the Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards and Ciroc hosted Fashion lovers  at Skyz Hotel, Naguru as the 2018 nominees were unveiled.

The mission of the awards is to promote fashion and the arts, encourage ethnic diversity, and reflect a positive image of Africa. It continues to push for African excellence in a bid to promote the extremely eccentric and colourful fashion scene in Africa which the media so often neglects. This has over the years been the DNA onto which the event is built.

Our own Sipho (Nasif Nyiiro Nkoobe) is among the 2018 Nominees of the Ciroc sponsored Awards that are to take place on ⁱⁿ December.

Sipho will be facing off with Gloria Haguma, Esther Oluka, Edward Nimusiima and Siima Sabiiti in the category of Best Fashion Blogger/Writer (Uganda)

“Every nominee on this list is not just creating, but also tapping deeply into the business potential of what they do,” shared Brian Ahumuza.

Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards will continue its blooming relationship with last year’s main sponsor Ciroc Ultra-Premium Vodka and media partners NTV Uganda and Capital FM for this year’s edition. Other sponsors include; Serena Hotel Kampala, South African Airways, Uber, Schweppes, Incredible Media, Kaisha Dog trainers and Imagine designs
