Speaking about the new line-up, Sizwe Nzimande, a spokesperson at the event’s organiser African Fashion International (AFI), said, “We want to provide the international fashion community with a glimpse into the unique and innovative nature of African design and creativity.”
“At Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Joburg 2015, our primary focus will be fostering the creative independence of talented new artists emerging from South Africa, and providing retail opportunities for these designers within a global consumer-base,” Nzimande further added about MBFWJ’s primary goal to promote budding talents.
Models from South Africa, Ghana, Barbados, USA, Jamaica, Nigeria, Angola, Australia, Brazil, Sweden, Russia and Uganda will walk the runway in collections from S.A’s top designers.
