True to its reputation as a cosmopolitan city, Cape Town will once again take the lead in revealing the latest design trends that are to take this summer by storm.
Audiences will be presented collections by some of the country’s best-known designers, including ready-to-wear heavyweights Klûk CGDT; Stefania Morland; and Craig Port, who will be introducing his women’s wear range. Craig Native makes a much anticipated return to the runway after an absence of a few years and Durban-based Ruff Tung make their Cape Town début.
Swimwear supremo Dax Martin, who recently returned from Las Palmas in Spain, where he was one of only 11 international designers invited to show his most recent collection, will also be vamping up the ramp with his new beachwear creations.
Major clothing chains Foschini and Woolworths, have thrown their weight behind the brightest design students from fashion schools to present a graduate collection as well as a mixture of up and coming and familiar designers with emerging talent collections. Both retailers are partnering with the Cape Town Fashion Council (CTFC) who has partnered and worked with African Fashion International (AFI) to manage production and marketing of these shows.
