“We are very excited about the upcoming event, especially because it is the first edition for 2016. As models, we shall showcase some of the trends that rocked January and also share hints of what we expect to rock the fashion scene throughout the rest of the year,” she said, adding that; “In addition to the fashion show, we will have beach games between models and revelers from morning to 2pm, followed by a 4 hours audition session for 50 models to join the NTV "Runway Heat" show cast that we recently signed up with and the judges will include Keith Karuhuura, Joram Muzira and Brenda Nanyonjo of Miss Uganda.”

“The Royal Essence shows are truly a reflection of the brand Mirinda. As Mirinda, we love color, we love to have fun and we live to grow talent across the country among other things. The Sands and Color show, which will double as an audition platform, gives us the opportunity to have our fans interact with the brand as they express themselves freely. We are proud of what the Royal Essence team has so far accomplished in the fashion industry and we are excited to be part of their journey in Uganda’s fashion industry.”
