Fashion Without Borders’ fifth installation is bringing 20 fashion designers and 40 models from across the continent to join the likes of South African designers like 11-year-old Ethan Mokhele, Kele Foko, Iman Mtshali, Aman Chamane and many others in Sandton in an effort to raise awareness about local fashion consumption.

Serge Kabisoso, Creative Director and Show Producer said that Fashion Without Borders says they want to raise awareness with this campaign Themed My Africa.
“Part of our aim is to enable the 20 fashion designers and 40 Models to take centre stage and subsequently showcase their interpretation of fashion design in the African continent, in an effort to raise awareness about local fashion consumption,”
“This event will highlight how current fashion trends are predicted by moods, behaviour and buying habits of a consumer at a particular time.”
Fashion Without Borders is more than just a fashion show, but also a lifestyle event that includes pop-up stalls, industry-related workshops and opportunities that will allow patrons to interact with both local and Southern African Development Community region designers.
