Ahead of the model search’s finale slated for 4th December 2022, 20 young ladies have been selected for the final stage of the global talent search, Top Model Uganda.
This was done during the preliminary event that took place earlier this week at Nexus Lounge in Kisaasi. The selected ladies include; Patience Wanina, Obrain Nyamwenge and Sera Mugisha among others.
During the event, the contestants were tested on their creativity in fashion, general knowledge, as well as other talents. Contestants also showcased some showstopping fashion pieces from emerging fashion designers including;JJ Fashions, MSH Designs, Bliss Fashion House, Crotchet by Rita, and Tracey Bitengi Collections.
The show, which had celebrated pageant queen and Miss Uganda 2011 Slyvia Namutebi Alybhai, Fashion and textiles Designer Brenda Maraka, and Dr Jimmy Spire Ssentongo as the judges for the show had over 29 participants from across the country.
During the event, Ms Pheona Nabasa Wall, the former president of the Uganda Law Society, commended the young ladies on their poise and zeal to go after their dreams and take this step in making those dreams a reality.
Following the preliminary event, the selected contestants will undergo a month-long training and mentorship process, leading up to the grand finale, slated for December at the Mestil hotel.
The winner will then have the opportunity to represent Uganda at the Top Model grand event in the UK early next year.
