Events: Face of African Fashion Week Toronto 2016 Recap

 

As African Fashion Week Toronto (AFWT) 2016 quickly approaches, it's that time again to search for a new model to be the face of AFWT. Last years winner Djamila Syalla had a great run as the Face of AFWT 2015, as she brought great elegance and sophistication to the runway, therefore I was excited to see who would be the next fabulous model to take on this high profile role.
 
This was all decided a few months ago at the 2016 Face of AFWT event, which took place at Remix Lounge. A group of fabulous women of all shapes, sizes and background ripped the runway and battled it out to win the coveted title of the Face of African Fashion Week 2016.

 Check out my time at the event and how it all went down...



The event was hosted by Delecia & Mesha of '2 Divas & a Mic' as well included a panel of judges to assess each model and select the new Face of AFWT 2016. In addition, attendees were entertained with musical performances and also received the chance to win great prize giveaways. During the event, models were made to walk the runway in 3 different looks: a Neutral White T & Denim look, a swimsuit look, and a look representing their personal style.

Of course, I indulged in some of the sweet treats available for attendees to enjoy. I loved that some were customized with a Kente print topping and also the AFWT logo. Everything was delicious!

Y'all know I couldn't just take one LOL! ;)

Ok, now back to the competition! And the winner is...
