Fashion set to pop at Bridge City this August!

Aspiring entrepreneurs and fashion lovers can look forward to an unforgettable pop up fashion experience – including a glam fashion exhibition space, fashion shows and some inspiring business and fashion advice from a top fashion panel – at Bridge City Shopping Centre in KwaMashu from August 17-19, 2018. 

This forms part of Durban’s mega annual fashion event, the Durban Fashion Fair (DFF), who are celebrating their 7th year, which will be running concurrently with the Durban Business Fair who are also celebrating their 20th anniversary, at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre between September 19th – 22nd with shows starting at 18h00. 

The Bridge City fashion panel discussion will be taking place on Saturday, August 18th at 13h00 and will be hosted by popular TV personality and Ukhozi FM presenter, Selby Mkhize- otherwise affectionately  known as ‘Selbeyonce’. Our fashion panellists will focus on “The Business of Fashion & Industry Opportunities” and they include Mita-N Dzyns designer & creator Muzi Mlambo, as well as the founder of ‘Treasure Cindi’ who specialises in wedding and evening gowns.  Ukhozi FM’s entertainment commentator and founder of SA BLOGGERS, Sandile Sandy Nene, will also be on the panel, as well as fashion buyer, Sinqobile Trevor Ntombela, who has over a decade of experience in the retail industry. Our final panellist is Khulile Mavundla Lamula, who is the managing director at Enza Management Services and creative director at Imara Jewellery. 

Business and fashion have always gone hand in hand, so this year’s DFF will run alongside the Durban Business Fair which aims to provide a platform for potential entrepreneurs to showcase their work and market their products whilst networking with big names in business and creating possible business linkages. Included will be a number of empowerment seminars, spearheaded by renowned business people who will share their business expertise with the public and fellow entrepreneurs.

Members of the public are encouraged to attend this exciting event and explore various business activities and you can catch all the latest fashion, when we showcase various designers creations modelled by the class of 2018, our “New Faces” within the fashion pavilion at 14h00 and 16h00 on Saturday & Sunday. 

The Bridge City Indaba is set to commence at 08h00  until 15h00 over the 3 days and is free to attend.
