Vukani! 21st Annual Fashion Awards at Newtown Mall
The South African Fashion Designers Agency's (SAFDA) boundary-breaking ability to bring explosive young African designers' creations to new and established markets will soon be showcased at the 21st annual Vukani! Fashion Awards. In an ever-strengthening partnership with the Fibre Processing and Manufacturing (FP&M) SETA, this year's Awards have their home at host venue, the newly opened Newtown Junction Mall.
21ST Vukani! Annual Fashion Awards: rooted, young creative Africa in a globalised world.
The 2015 Vukani! Annual Fashion Awards are ideally positioned to enable young Africans, as custodians of the continent's creative legacy, to cement their place as "The Enlightened Ones: Guardians of Ubuntu". This is the theme for this installment of the awards.Fashion is the ideal vehicle for this undertaking; its flexibility lends itself well to the variety of clothing designs that are inspired by Africa's rich and diverse cultures.
The 21st Vukani! Annual Fashion Awards, after a successful first year in terms of SAFDA's partnership with the FP&M SETA, are now raising the standard of the quality of the fabrics that construct the garments that will be brought to life by Miss Earth SA models.The aim is to ensure development, training, economic growth and empowerment in the fashion industry; thereby realizing entrants' potential for establishing sustainable businesses and a continuously thriving sector that already competes at a global level. Participants will go to gain market exposure as artists and entrepreneurs, by securing valuable access to role players across the market, from local and international fashion buyers to development agencies and fashion consumers. Finalists in the Young Designer Category come from all 9 provinces in South Africa, and the Emerging Designer competitors hail from our neighbouring countries.
The four-day event running from 17-21 November 2015 will comprise an Enterprise Exhibition, Seminar and Workshops and the glamourous Young Fashion Designer Award ceremony.
