S.A fashion events taking us to the top

South Africa is one of the countries that have the best fashion designers like Marc Bouwer,Nkhensani Manganyi ,David Tlale  and many more, having this designers has helped us grow so much into fashion.
One of the things I like about mzansi fashion is that we have so many events that are taking place in terms of fashion, and this includes the Audi joburg, cape town, Durban, and the S.A fashion week to me this are not just fashion events but they are there to represent the south African taste in terms of clothing, it is true that we might not be yet be on the fashion league like big cities such as Condon, Paris, and other but it shows that we are getting there.

S.A fashion week
www.safashionweek.co.za.
Let’s take a look at the south African fashion week that started ten years ago, and it started out as fashion marketing instrument that would raise fashion status not only as  an art form but also as means of cultural expression, and to see that they have made it so far shows that the culture of fashion is really growing in mzansi ,one thing I like about the south African fashion week and which I think is  one that keeps fashion growing on each events they host is their communication strategy,  since the S.A fashion week  started ten years ago it has managed to get more and more people interested in fashion, buy making use of the media and the social networks and this includes twitter ,Facebook , and they also include their website where people can  watch what happened on a certain event, they can see new upcoming designers, and also the designers can make use of the media and social networks that the S.A fashion week use to see which competitions they can enter and lastly one thing that I like about the  is that one is able to sign up for getting newsletters on their website www.safashionweek.co.za.
Well I believe that without such fashion events, we would not be where we are today in terms of fashion, and it is important that we have such fashion events that are able to interact with us as ordinary people and get us more involved in terms of fashion and it means we are able to show case our African expression as south Africans and we are proud to wear our own mzansi designs, because it’s sad to still see people wearing clothes from abroad while we have our own south African designers.

  4. I think in fashion everything that is older now is new, the creativity that the fashion designers give to us, just suffocate all stages of nature and life that's why the fashion industry keep on growing

  6. True that South Africa does have the best designers, they have stepped up the market in a big way they go to other countries to show case their designers with we known and recognised designers. Personally I think South African fashion has stepped up in a big way and it's making waves. If you look at the designs of David Tlale man oh man they are to die for anyone who’s everyone wants a Tlale number. Events such as SA fashion week are a greet platform giving designs an opportunity to show case their talent to the world, I think there should be more events like SA fashion week.We may not be there yet but i believe we are getting there slowly but surely

  10. It seems SA's fashion is now being taken into consideration and most of the audiences tend to wear our home made clothes that are from South Africa. We can now find our SA clothes across the world and thanks to those who makes sure that our country be reckoned for its best.
