He said it is a platform established to showcase the talent of aspiring and local fashion designers and models around the country. He said its standard is improving each year.<br>&#8220;This is a platform for young designers to showcase their talent and what they are capable of. This is a stepping stone for them to crack in in the fashion industry. Every year we have a different theme,&#8221; said Mathenjwa.<br>He highlighted that on Saturday 29 November there will be a pre-party celebration at Omoda in Tygervalley where guests will enjoy exclusive previews as the designers will showcase their garments ahead of the main event.<br>Mathenjwa stated that most of the designers are from Cape Town.<br>&#8220;One of the designers is coming from Engcobo (Eastern Cape), two from Durban (KwaZulu-Natal) and the rest are from Cape Town. We have one each from Bonteheuwel, Langa, Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Mfuleni and Nyanga. Most of them are from school,&#8221; he said, citing that they are working with North Link (Bellville Campus) and Cape Town College of Fashion Design (CTCFD) from Cape Town.<br>Mathenjwa elaborated that to be a good designer one needs to be dedicated and passionate about what you are doing. He cited that the industry is not for fainthearted people.<br>&#8220;If you want to make quick money this is not a place to be. You need to be creative, dedicated and always ready to take a risk,&#8221; he stated. He also described the event as a platform for networking and socialising with other businesspeople in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is that time of the year
