Xeadar and Ramah win it for Brenda Nambi at Mr Price launch

Its official, Bossini and Mr Price have set up shop at Acacia Mall. The unveiling took place last night. It was all about lights, cameras and high fashion for the guests and models that hit the runway. The event was not your usual fashion show given that fashion designers, Brenda Nambi, Brenda Maraka and Rafael Kasule were tasked to style a selection of models using outfits from the two stores. Joram Muzira of Joram Model Management (JMM) took care of the models and the overall coordination of the event. In the end the three judges Morris Mugisha a former representative for Uganda in Big Brother Africa, model and photographer, Sylvia Owori-an entrepreneur and legendary fashion designer on the Ugandan market plus Jeddidah Thotho the Retail Director at Deacons Kenya chose Brenda Nambi as the eventual winner of the challenge. Nambi walked away with the cash prize of 4 million shillings. Second place was Rafael who took 2.5 million shillings. I felt like all the designers did a great job but there could have been only one winner. The models could have made the difference. Brenda Nambi had a dangerous combination of Xeadar and Ramah plus the lovely Anna and Knowel. Everything they put on looked fabulous. The other guys like Jaypee, Keith or beautiful Milcah, Vanquisha and Vivian are all top models but perhaps the combination of Xeadar and Ramah was too much for the judges. At the end of the day fashion won and that is what matters most. Below are some random shots from the event. I will be sharing more soon.

Deception season 5 premieres in style

On Monday evening, the 5^th season of NTV’s Deception premiered. NTV hosted the cast, part of the crew, a few fans and media personalities at red carpet event held at Guvnor. Of course Fashion Police256 was present to capture the red carpet action. The cast members dressed like they really knew that all the cameras and lights would be on them. Pretty Katende stood out with her tinted hair and orange top, complete with a red bow tie, red belt and red heels with only the black skirt to torn down the colourful outfit. Maama Nalweyiso, one of the series’ stars stole the show in her flowing orange gown with gold detail in the neck and chest area. No wonder many people wanted to take picture with her. Robin Kisti flaunted some leg. A picture is worth a thousand words so here is what you missed at the premiere of Deception season 5.

Sheila Gashumba: Teenage Fashion Icon

This morning, I was having a discussion with a colleague about how the dress code of some of Uganda’s TV personalities is wanting. That is when the name of Sheila Gashumba came up. This teenager is so styled to the extent that it hurts seeing old women struggling to be like her. She an icon not only for the teens in Uganda and she makes fashion sense-all the time. I will be writing a full blog post about her. But here is a picture from a charity event organised by her NGO “Young Bodies Big Hearts” raise funds for kids in Mulago hospital. She presents a teens’ program on NTV called  T-Nation.
