The Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards have been a benchmark for the African fashion community for more than six years running. The awards are renowned for their capacity to identify, motivate, and establish trends in honor of a global fashion agenda.
The ASFAs was launched in 2013 with the goal of recognizing and honoring fashion and its close-knit communities. 2020 and 2021 were exempt because of the global pandemic.
The Abryanz Style & Fashion Awards is an African fashion award ceremony that honors and recognizes members of the fashion industry, such as fashion designers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, media figures, and influencers both within and beyond our borders.
Since the first ceremony in 2013, this event has been hosted yearly in Uganda.
The ASFAs is a glamorous evening featuring the biggest red carpet in Africa, a genuine celebration of fashion, and A-List attendees from all across the continent.
Every category, with the exception of the Lifetime/Style Fashion Icon Achievement Award, offers two trophies to both Ugandan and continental winners.
The public votes for the nominations, with the public taking 30% of the vote and the judges from the awards academy taking the remaining 70%. The public has cast their votes online through social media and the official awards website.
