MADS Fashion show, a Christian-oriented event, will see models and designers win upto Ugx 10 million after they take on the runway this weekend. This was announced during a press briefing held at Verses Hotel in Kampala on Friday.
The fashion show which will be held under the theme “Modern African” will feature 35 models showcasing collections from seven designers. The models who have been trained from scratch and groomed for this particular event will be competing for the best male and female awards and will be decided by a panel of judges formed of experts in the fashion industry, who will also choose the best designers (male and female).
“The judges will decide who best portrayed our theme for the event with their creations and these will walk away with a cash prize,” Natasha Mbabazi, the Fashion Director MADS company, which is organising the event, relayed.
According to Nasser Nabende, a youth pastor at Miracle Center Cathedral, Rubaga and also the President MADS Company, MADS Fashion event aims to provide a platform where youth in church can discover their talents and also express themselves in different forms including music, fashion and sports.
“Fashion is one aspect that has not been explored a lot in church, and yet its a part of our day-to-day lives,” Nasser Nabende said. “We hope to use this platform to influence Christian fashion and also boost confidence among the youth.”
The fashion showcase will be preceded by different fun activities including a walkathon, football and netball competitions. It will be held on Saturday, 15th December at Miracle Center Cathedral, Rubaga. Entrance is free.
