Esteemed pioneers in fashion are flown in from all over SA to judge the student’s collections and select the top 20 designers to showcase on the finale evening.
Durban University of Technology (DUT) will be exploding onto the fashion scene with their highly anticipated and much sought after Fashion Show at the Fred Crookes Sports Centre, Steve Biko Campus in Durban on October 4, 5, 6. The coveted event will showcase the designs of 36 third year students with the best 20 ranges showcased at the gala evening, on Friday, October 6. Each year the graduating class is given a theme that they have to interpret into a fashion style and this is revealed to the public at a three-day fashion experience.
Esteemed pioneers in fashion are flown in from all over SA to judge the student’s collections and select the top 20 designers to showcase on the finale evening.
It is on this evening that the winners in the various categories are announced for the Most Innovative Range, Best Range on Show, Most Commercial Range, Best Menswear Range, Best Technical Student and a Special Recognition Award. Our greatest international accomplishment is sharing our graduation platform with our international exchange school BIFT.
The Beijing Institute of Fashion and Technology hosted some of our top designers at their shows earlier this year and we are both proud and excited to show their students work at our show.
On the horizon is a new brand, conceptualised in Durban, which will have its grand appearance at the show. The SA public will not only see the birth of an incredible label but also be able to purchase items from the OXX brand at the show.
A major first for DUT will be the inclusion of an established designer who will showcase their collection on the finale night. Tickets will be available at Computicket and at the door.
