events worth checking out. Although these are all
well-known events be sure to follow their media
pages and ensure that you are in the know regarding
other smaller events hosted by the organizations.
Fashion shows of this magnitude are few and
far between and getting a word in the right
ear might not always be the simplest task.
So dress in your own designs and stand out
so people notice you. First impressions, right?
If you need to build up some courage and
experience before hitting the big stage, why not
checkout some of the smaller fashion shows. Such
as the awesome event that is Soweto Fashion Week
– perhaps the best place to meet and be amazed by
an authentic, local industry. Getting the attention
of the right people is a job in itself, keep yourself in
the know regarding such events and change your
title to fashion designer/ fashion show enthusiast.
