Guinness Smooth celebrated the launch of its vibrant new “Make It Yours” campaign yesterday at Konqa254, inviting the next generation of Guinness drinkers to reimagine their world through creativity, self-expression, and community-inspired collaboration.

Building on the refreshed brand look introduced earlier this year, the event showcased a bold new identity and a fashion-forward take on what it means to truly make it yours—championing individuality and the reimagination of culture through a new lens, The Konqa254 launch event featured captivating fashion presentations by Kenyan designers Martin Emojong and Lucarindii, who reimagined their designs using Guinness Smooth’s distinctive colours and elements.

Emojong, known for blending traditional Kenyan textiles with modern silhouettes, and Lucarindii, recognized for bold, colorful streetwear using sustainable materials, each created striking, reimagined fashion pieces that pushed creative boundaries. Their work brought the “Make It Yours” campaign to life by reinterpreting the brand’s identity through fresh, innovative looks.
