I am so excited to let my blog readers know that, together with Liam from the fabulous venue The Runway, I am organising THE shopping experience of the year.
As the culmination of Cape Town Fashion Week, The Runway Fashion Weekend guerrilla store will open for two days only, selling a selection of established and young South African designers’ lines at discount prices to you, the public.
Showcasing the best of South African design talent and making it all accessible to you, in one place at one time, for a limited period only is a new concept for South Africa and this store will be the first of its kind on our shores.
Based on the same concept as the highly successful London Fashion Weekend, held twice a year for the past eight years, the Cape Town store will keep its designers exclusive and its visitors highly entertained.
There is a small entrance fee of R25.00 for visitors to the store, and 100% of the profits from the door will be donated to a fashion-related charity in the Cape Town area. In addition a fashion-amnesty will be run at the same time where people can bring along their clothes from last season and hand them in at the store – these will all be given to needy people suffering from the cold in the Western Cape winter.
I will keep you posted with updates, new designers as they sign up and any special information for my blog readers. This is the place to get the information on this cool new event, so keep coming back for more!
