The knitting of collaborative networks and the shaping of a sustainable fashion future for South Africa – these where some of the most exhilarating trends  at South African Fashion Week (SAFW)’s Spring Summer 23 Collections at the Mall of Africa held from  20 – 23 April 2023.

Some snaps from the shows I attended, with thanks to Zebra Square for inviting me. 

Sipho Mabuse remarked that “promoting cultural and creative industries is a powerful way to boost the economy and empower” and this should continue unabated.
