Football meets fashion who would have ever thought that fashion and football can collaborate.
Well we have news for you, nothing seem impossible until its Done or should we say its Created.
16 Designers were teamed up with 16 students and 16 soccer fans from all different teams in the league.
We were there to understand the concept behind it, if this isn’t amazing then we don’t know what your definition of amazing is.
After road shows in 3 universities in order to select the 16 students that will be working alongside prominent designers.
12 students who worked endless nights putting together proposals and designs to prove their worth in front of a panel of judges that included:
Prominent designer David Tlale
Social columnist Thembalethu Zulu
Head of Fashion Design at UJ Desiree Smal
It all came down to 8 student designers in Jo’burg
Well after all the dedications and hard work designers were matched with students, clubs and fans and it came down to 8 students being partnered with designers and super fans.
The journey continued as campus road shows took place where Durban And Cape town had to fill the remaining 8 places that were left.
In Durban judges such as a Lerato Tshabalala were amongst the panel of judges, to make sure that not only students showcase their proposals, but also know the business behind the industry, hence the decisions they made had to be filled by the best candidates.
Preparations for the fashion show took place with sketches from different designers and fittings from different super fans, I must say things are really looking great.
We cant wait to see the show and how everything will unfold.
The event will be taking place on the 14/05/2015 at Nelson Mandela Bay in P.E.
