The event was curated to celebrate and acknowledge stake holders in the fashion industry, spanning from fashion designers, to fashion bloggers, stylists, most stylish celebrities, to mention but a few. This year, the theme was ‘Fashion is Power’, aimed at sparking a dialogue on the meaning of 'African Fashion'. It was hosted by Kenya's Tracy Wanjiru and Anita Nderu and Nigeria's Mai Atafo - a bespoke fashion tailor.

Routinely, the red carpet fashion was anything but BASIC, comprising a myriad of styles, from elegant gowns to avant-garde fashion to somewhat over-the-top couture fashion.

One of the Kenyans who won big at this year’s ASFA was fashion stylist extraordinaire, Brian Babu, who can be credited for being the brains behind some of Sauti Sol’s most iconic looks. Babu has taken the less traveled road and carved a niche for himself as a leading fashion stylist, with an impressive profile, having dressed top celebrities, such as Amina Abdi, Betty Kyallo, Janet Mbugua, to mention but a few and also bagged many gigs such as styling Coke Studio Africa artistes. Evidently, his work speaks for itself and it’s no wonder, that he bagged the Stylist of the Year, Africa Award, beating Angola’s Chuck Mbevo and Ghana’s Kelvincenth.

An excited Babu took to his Instagram to share the news with his fans, posting:
