is my dream it is what I've been working towards since I graduated. It’s the
ultimate fashion platform for any designer not to mention a young designer like
myself. I'm grateful to have this opportunity to showcase my work on a national
platform.”
Seasoned
designer Amanda Govender who will also be showcasing on ramp for the first
time, said her brand, Amanda May is a signature for classic and modern looks
and this remains the tone for her collection. Govender said that fashion
enthusiasts can expect “simple but playful twists and interpretations of one of
the most enchanting flowers, the tulip - unexpected and manipulative, staying
true to femininity in shape and form, with a seductive take on colour and fit.”
She
added that she was inspired by the 50’s and 70’s era’s which were dominated by
the classic silhouettes and effortless chic design flair, clinched waists, high
necklines and bell sleeves which she says all underpins her Winter 2015
Collection.
Nabeela
Osman, who also completed the KZNFC’s“21 Steps to Retail” Programme 2014 said,
“I'm beyond ecstatic to be participating at SA Fashion Week for the first time.
I can't wait to make my mark in this ever growing industry. There is a great
amount of talent in KZN. It's time that South Africa takes notice. The KZNFC
has given me an opportunity like no other. With their support, the industry is
bound to realize that KZN designers are ones to watch.”
