Looking for the ultimate weekend vibe? Imagine a party where fashion meets music, and creativity takes center stage. That’s exactly what went down at the second edition of the Guinness Smooth-powered Pass the Aux event, hosted by the visionary Lincoln Axarya, fashion entrepreneur and mastermind behind Axarya. This wasn’t just another Saturday night—it was a celebration of self-expression, where guests weren’t just attendees but active creators. But here’s where it gets even more intriguing: Axarya’s ‘Sip and Illustrate’ session invited everyone to channel their inner fashion designer, sketching and dreaming up outfits that could rival runway looks. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about the music or the fashion; it’s about giving people the freedom to make it theirs.
Saturdays are the crown jewel of the week, the day everyone’s searching for the spot—the place buzzing with energy. This weekend, Pass the Aux delivered exactly that, blending music, fashion, and creativity into an unforgettable experience. Mercy Atwongyeire, Project Manager at UBL, summed it up perfectly: ‘Tonight was about fashion, and Axarya did not disappoint. Pass the Aux brings our ‘Make it yours’ campaign to life by creating spaces where consumers can create, collaborate, and reimagine what they’re passionate about.’ But here’s the controversial part: Can a party truly empower creativity, or is it just another marketing gimmick? Let’s dive in.
The DJs didn’t just play music—they read the room, curating a ‘Make it yours’ vibe that kept the energy flowing. Richie Ndagije kicked things off with an Afro House set that set the dancefloor ablaze. Then, DJ Emthatguy took over, and the crowd became one with the music. His Afrobeat set had everyone dancing and singing in unison—a moment of pure, unfiltered joy. And this is where it gets even better: When DJ Ames stepped up, she unleashed an Amapiano and Dancehall fusion that had the crowd moving as one. By the end, everyone was exhausted but begging for more.
The night’s climax? The Axarya showcase. Models strutted through Meraki Karting, showcasing exquisite designs that had guests snapping photos and gasping in awe. It was fashion as art, and it left everyone inspired. Here’s the bold question: Is fashion just about clothes, or is it a form of storytelling? The Axarya showcase made a strong case for the latter.
So, the next time Pass the Aux rolls around, don’t just attend—own it. Secure your invite, tap into your creative side, and make the night yours, courtesy of Guinness Smooth.
