Some social media users praised the initiative stating that the event will challenge other event organisers to be professional. While one fashion critic who wanted to remain anonymous, castgated the event organisers for not including numerous fashion players from Matebeland Region. However, the critic acknowledges the presence of few nominees from the region.
“Congratulations in the hosting of these awards, I don’t believe these were national awards. These were regional awards, 80% of nominees derive from Harare province. If you can check in other categories only people from one province are the nominees, can you refer that to national or regional.

“I hope the organisers have spotted their mistake, they’re only a few new about these awards this side of the country. Such events are meant to unity people,” he said.
While another guest who had attended the ceremony described the event as a highly fashion event, which will take time for people to accept however, he said this event had placed the country’s fashion industry in a higher level.

“The honored were quite comprehensive, someone did their research well. Great speeches, a lot about hard work and integrity.” said one of the guests at the event.
Models who catwalked for the ‘Cisterns of Crystal Waters’ are Tatenda Njanike, Casey, Kevin Apple Papi among others. His product left many speechless as the spectators in the auditorium all agreed that indeed he is the Prince of Zim’s Fashion Designing sector.
Award winning musician Nutty O entertained the guests and as expected, this was a highlight of the night, with everyone up dancing and singing along to every song.
We believe, given the initiative, there’s always room to improve and be as inclusive but this is also dependent on who is willing to put in the work, get involved or rather, wait in the sidelines to complain, always. We look forward to the next events these organizers have planned. We celebrate every success ahead.
