DURBAN FASHION FAIR MENTEES READY TO SHOWCASE THEIR DESIGNS

 Excitement is mounting among the 22 emerging designers that have been selected to participate in the 2024 Durban Fashion Fair (DFF) showcase.

 The DFF takes place from18 to 20 September at The Station Urban Event Space. And the mentees under the DFF Mentorship Programme will receive the opportunity of a lifetime by showcasing their collections to potential buyers. This is an opportunity to launch their brands.

In its 13th year, the DFF Mentorship Programme is an initiative to grow the fashion industry in eThekwini and to create a platform for employment and entrepreneurship in the sector.

Approximately 22 young, up-and-coming designers have been mentored for the past nine months by the Fezile Fashion Skill Academy. They have received guidance on orientation and textile selection, with the training providing valuable information on manufacturing, brand management, costs, and how designers can enter the retail space.

 Mentees have received weekly tasks preparing their collections to present to a larger audience of fashion buyers, the media, critics and the public at the annual DFF Fashion Show.

 The three mentees who present the best collections will receive awesome prizes at the DFF Recognition Awards.

The three-day fashion extravaganza features 11 shows showcasing the talent of approximately 70 new and established designers from across Africa. There will also be a pop-up shop featuring locally manufactured fashion products.
