Battle of the fashion stylists

Mashariki Mix stylist Annabel Onyango will have to tuck in her dreadlocks for this one. She has been picked alongside five others in her field to dress models on a runway later this month, to determine whose boss in the industry.

The Fashion lover, blogger and stylist who dresses show hosts Nic Wagondu, Sarah Hassan, and Amina Abdi every week, will be up against Wambui Kibue, Wambui Thimba, Connie Aluoch, Anyiko Owoko and Sunny Dolat, who are fashion stylists for different publications.

Deacons Kenya Limited is using the contest to officially introduce the Zara fashion brand into the Kenyan market.

“It will be a massive showcase to find out who is Kenya’s finest Fashion Stylist,” declared Deacons CEO Muchiri Wahome.

“…this fashion show is just a beginning of the many ways we are looking of partnering with local Kenyan stylists and designers. We are keen on making this an annual event,” he promised.

The show will go down in history on 28 July, and feature 21 models on a runway built at the brand new Thika Road Mall.

The dress code for the extravaganza is winter fashion and of course the clothes will be picked exclusively from all of Deacons’ stores.

The models will be as diverse as they come: male, female and children aged between 4-8 years.

Apart from the recognition, the overall winner will have bragging rights and a bounty of Sh100,000. Second and third place will earn cash prizes of Sh50,000 and Sh25,000 respectively.


Thanks for the support DSTV! See everyone on July 28th at the Thika Road Mall as it all goes down!
