Learn how to run a lucrative fashion business


 
Here's your chance to win tickets to the SA Fashion Exchange event where you can network with fashion industry role-players and established designers.

 
South Africa has become an important player on the global fashion scene. This has lead to an increased demand for tools to help designers compete with international brands.

Fashion Exchange +27 is a new event that will take place on the 29th and 30th of May at The Runway in Cape Town.

It's aimed at educating and elevating local retailers, designers and entrepreneurs and connecting them with some of the world’s leading fashion and luxury business experts.

Over two days the exchange will provide essential ideas and insight into the rapidly changing business of fashion and luxury and the key business trends that are affecting the entire industry.

Issues such as the rise of fast fashion, the globalisation of trends and the demand for ethical fashion are set to have a profound effect on the business of fashion over the coming years. This event provides an invaluable behind the scenes look at businesses that have succeeded in one of the world’s most competitive and challenging industries. Fashion Exchange + 27 also offers role players a chance to network with peers from across South Africa as well as the highest calibre of international experts.

Fashion Exchange +27 is an essential event for anyone interested in succeeding in the business of fashion and luxury and keeping up with the trends that are revolutionising both markets.
