Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - Jo'burg

It's finally here, one of the most sought after events for any fashionista; the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - Jo'burg Autumn/Winter collections! As we eagerly await the 25 designers, 20 shows over 4 days, I am beside myself with joy and am specifically looking forward to Fastrack day!! 
  

African Fashion International (AFI) teamed up with Mercedes Benz South Africa together with Hyde Park Corner to bring this year's internationally competitive Jo'burg fashion week. African Fashion International (AFI) Executive Chairperson Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe was quoted saying: "Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Joburg, brought to you by AFI, showcases South Africa’s established and emerging designers, offering a platform of visibility, relevance and access to the market.” I couldn't agree more.

As was with the last fashion week last year(spring/summer collections), this year's AFI fashion week will kick-start with Fastrack day which basically show-cases young and up-coming designers. This concept started last year and Foschini is once again partnering with AFI on this one.

Some of the designers that will be showcasing include:
Distinctive Man
KZN Fashion Council
Gavin Rajah
Leigh Schubert
Heni
Kluk CGDT
