Out of the 10 contestants who were participating that night, 3 were male and the biggest battle lines had clearly been drawn for the female category. Contestants were to showcase their designs and creativity in the following categories: Color Blocking, African Wear, Creative Wear, Vintage Wear and Dinner Wear.

The models together with the crazy line up of entertainers that were set to perform that night was so much on point, that they managed to hold down the guests all through the night until the results were announced. This included electrifying performances by popular artist Balozi and spoken word gurus who received mad cheers at the Mr and Miss Chiromo 2017 crowd.

Lawrence L Ngaruiya and Moya Sarah Nyatichi walked away with the crowns for Mr and Miss Chiromo 2017/2018 and our own private observers from Fotophreak Magazine could not agree more.
