The collections created from the submitted portfolios sketches and
swatches included 7 complete ladies wears as a collection. These works
were exhibited on models on the 18th of October in Sandton City
where the garments were assessed on the finished construction, their
use of textiles and the potential of their runway collection to be used in
commercial retail streams and how the designers could communicate
that through their interview.
Sunglass Hut based in Cape Town with 140 outlets nationwide has been
the official naming sponsor of the competition since 2015. With their
final year in collaboration with the competition, they will be providing the
winner with a prize of a full experience of London fashion week.
The key thing is to provide the winner with the exposure at a large scale
fashion week to gain skills and knowledge through workshops and behind
the scenes access to get them inspired to put out a new collection and
start their own businesses.
