"We are excited to be associated with Soweto Fashion Week - a platform that appeals to the same influential, tech-savvy individuals that Canon does. At Canon we've leveraged our heritage, knowledge and our expertise to push the boundaries of imaging and printing solutions and this is an ideal platform to engage with our younger audience," said Michelle Janse van Vuuren, Marketing Director of Canon South Africa.
The camera and print brand joins the existing sponsors behind SFW SS16 fall, the principal sponsor Darling Hair and Joburg Tourism.
