Selections have now begun for the 2013
Durban Fashion Fair! Sindi Shangase, Mthoko Chiyi, Greg Wallis and Sim
Tshabalala recently judged the fashion storyboards received by hundreds of
designers who entered this year’s eThekwini Municipality Durban Fashion Fair to
be held from August 8 to 11 at the International Convention Centre in Durban.
This years’ Durban Fashion Fair is going to
be bigger and better than last year, with a new venue, a more in-depth fashion
development programme, some new designers to showcase and brand new fashion
garments on display. With the focus of the Durban Fashion Fair being to provide
an important platform for Durban’s creative industries to access national and
international markets, taking design to retail, and ultimately putting Durban
on the fashion map!
As fashion centres on a visual experience,
the fair will not only include a number fashion shows daily from August 8 to 10,
but will also showcase pop-up shops until August 11 where fashionistas can shop
until they drop.
