International Designers!
Far and beyond the sciences of appearances, Fashion Without Borders aims at reaching regional and locally fashion designers with underdeveloped fashion scenes.
This platform is created to give such creatives access to a wider market in the African continent.
For the past years, FWB seeks to nurture a blend of new talent, emerging and established names.
The event is set to kick off on the 13th – 15th October 2022 at The Grand Palm Hotel and Resort, comprising of Designer Fashion Stalls, Fashion Unpacked Masterclass Sessions and closing off with a Fashion Showcase.
The showcase will be coupled with industry-related workshops taking advantage of opportunities available for the fashion, textile, and clothing industry which have an enormous potential to transform lives, particularly for women and young people powered by Mr Price Group Durban RSA.
