The event, announced earlier this year, will run under the title Audi Joburg Fashion Week at Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton.
The launch of this event closes a long-standing gap in the South African fashion calendar, giving the country's top established designers the opportunity to showcase autumn/winter collections at a major fashion week run to international standards.
The event will feature South Africa's foremost designers, including many that are representing the country abroad such as Gavin Rajah (showcasing for a second season at Paris Couture Week in January), Gideon (recently returned from London Fashion Week), KlukCGdT (showcasing at Russian Fashion Week in the new year) Craig Port and Paul van Zyl Couture (who have both recently returned from Acapulco Fashion).
Other leading designers will include Hip Hop, Gabi Rosenwerth for Rosenwerth, Sonwabile Ndamase for Vukani Collections, Fred Eboka for Eboka, Spero Villioti, Carducci, Warrick Gautier for Jenni Button and Hilton Weiner, Darkie, Jenny le Roux for Habits, Lunar and Thomas Red.
