Now what would a fashion film festival be without some local talented designers to showcase their latest collections. The four designers from Cape Town Fashion Council will each put forth their new trend setting designs.
These names sure are not unknown to any person in the industry and are well known for their creative mind blowing collections.
Craig Jacobs
- the founder of the label 'Fundudzi' - Fashion with a Conscience
Eleni Labrou
- her recent collection 'Akedo' took to the runway at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Cape Town
Tzvi Karp
- 'Take the literature of Brett Easton Ellis, the films of Andy Warhol and
the new line of Star Wars Lego, mix them up in a blender and
press “deconstruct.”' - this is how Rudi Benade has described this Mercedes Benz Johannesburg Fashion Week designer.
Joel Janse van Vuuren
- the man who is synonymous with creativity, colour, and femininity.
Bryan Ramkilawan, CEO of CTFC considers this festival a great opportunity for these designers to extend their brands further into the Johannesburg markets.
This will be a night that will not be forgotten and surely will go down in history as being a glamourous event and successful fashion film festival and will set the bar high for all other festivals to follow in the future.
What's the event without the sponsors?
