For the first time, this year’s Abryanz Style & Fashion Awards (ASFAS) will be preceded with a pre-event party. In an announcement made on Satisfashion UG on Friday, supermodels Aamito Lagum and Patricia Akello will host the party slated for Thursday 15th December at Kampala Serena Hotel.
According to the models, who are Satisfashion UG’s November cover girls, the event will be an invite-only party featuring high impact glamour and fun.
“I’m super excited about it [the event]. This is going to be the first-ever Pre-ASFAS party, a very exclusive invite-only event. I mean who wouldn’t want to be a part of this? Considering that 2022 has been such a great year,” Patricia Akello offered.
The two models have had such a stellar year. Aamito landed a role on the big screen, playing alongside industry stalwarts Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton in the fantasy romantic drama film Three Thousand Years of Longing. Akello landed new talent representation in Turkey and Spain and also launched her own swimwear brand called Pakello.
On why they are doing the event, Aamito offered, “I have had quite a journey; from when I started in Kampala and later traveling the world doing what I love. But there is nothing better than celebrating some of life’s special moments with family. For me, Uganda is family! Uganda is home!”
Now in their 8th edition, the ASFAS will be held at the Kampala Serena Hotel on Friday 16th December 2022. They will honor individuals in 5 major categories including; Honorary Awards, Designer Awards, Fashion Awards, Music in Fashion, and Fashion Personalities.
