These fashion offerings will provide a window into the continent’s dynamic design scene, celebrated for its bold aesthetics and cultural resonance.

The event’s musical ambience is set by the soulful sounds of the Kopano Jazz Collective and the rhythmically eclectic Kujenga, nominees of the South African Music Awards. The musical experience culminates with a headline performance by multi-award-winning artist Thandiswa Mazwai, whose magnetic presence and powerful voice are sure to captivate all in attendance.
