Fashion Without Boarders started in Gauteng and now travels across the continent, showcasing and uplifting Africa’s young and emerging fashion designers and new models from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“Part of our aim is to enable the 20 fashion designers and 40 models to take centre stage and subsequently showcase their interpretation of fashion design on the African continent, in an effort to raise awareness about local fashion consumption,” says Serge Kabisoso, creative director and show producer.
“This event will highlight how current fashion trends are predicted by moods, behaviour and buying habits of a consumer at a particular time.”
