Ozone Entertainments has taken a bold step into the fashion industry by introducing its very own fashion agency, NAF Model Empire. On April 24, 2025, the company officially released a casting call, inviting all aspiring and professional models across Rwanda to audition for a chance to become part of this new and exciting venture.
Ozone Entertainments has long been associated with the fashion scene in Rwanda. The company’s portfolio includes Photo and Video Services, Film Production, Event Management, Talent Management, and more. Over the years, Ozone has collaborated with numerous modelling agencies and fashion designers across the country, solidifying its credibility and expertise in the fashion and entertainment industries.
NAF Model Empire was founded through the collaboration of three individuals: Augustin HATEGEKIMANA, Solange ABAYISENGA, and Nadine IGIHOZO. The strong ties between Ozone Entertainments and NAF Model Empire are not surprising, given that one of the co-founders is none other than Augustin, the CEO of Ozone Entertainments. He teamed up with two seasoned models, Nadine and Solange, to bring this vision to life.
The model casting call poster contains all the essential information for interested applicants, including the venue, time of arrival, and eligibility criteria. One notable highlight is the impressive panel of judges, which includes highly respected professionals in the industry.
Among the judges is Nshimirimana Yanick, widely known as Lii—an acclaimed actor, model, and fashion designer. Lii is the founder of his own fashion house, Lii Collection. It is quite rare to see casting calls that feature judges of his caliber, and his participation speaks volumes about the level of professionalism and experience backing this event.
Also on the judging panel is Nshogoza Jean Teckno, a top model with a strong international presence. His modeling career has taken him across borders to countries like Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, Dubai, and beyond. He has participated in numerous competitions, winning accolades such as Rwanda Global Top Model and Male Model of the Year 2024. His achievements continue to grow, making him a valuable addition to the selection team.
These accomplished judges underscore Ozone Entertainments’ commitment to scouting and nurturing top-tier talent. With such an experienced panel present at the casting, aspiring models can expect a highly professional and competitive selection process.
The casting event is scheduled for May 11, 2025, and will take place in Gisozi, Kigali. If you are a model reading this and meet the necessary requirements, now is the time to prepare and seize the opportunity to be part of one of the most promising modeling agencies in Rwanda.
However, it’s important to note that this casting event does not mark the official launch of NAF Model Empire. According to the management, the official launch is still in the pipeline, and while they confirmed that it will happen, the exact date has not yet been announced.
