Launched in 2003, Cape Town Fashion Week has become one of the most talked about fashion weeks globally. Not only does it showcase well known design houses, but emergent designers as well. The first day of the event is dedicated to young designers, the second for established designers, and the third day brings the event to a dazzling climax with elegant evening wear.

Like other fashion shows, the event draws the most major fashion magazines and trade professionals. However, it differs significantly from others in one very positive way; Cape Town Fashion Week is not strictly a trade event and is open to the public.

After you enjoy the latest runway fashions, you can attend seminars and find out more about careers within the industry. Be sure not to miss one of the most thought provoking fashion weeks on the fashion calendar and book your tickets early!
