Building on a strong foundation, MTN Durban Fashion Week is back for a third year and is set to rock Durban!

Following two exceptionally successful years – MTN Durban Fashion Week has found its niche and is now firmly entrenched on the South African fashion calendar.

South Africa's cradle for young and emerging design talent, MTNDFW 2007 and will take place from 27 – 30 June 2007 at an exciting new venue unique to Durban – on the Sundeck at the Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World.

Co-owned by Leisureworx and VShe Promotions, this year MTNDFW will showcase the best of South Africa’s design talent. "We do things differently on the East Coast. Our unique mix of fashion and entrepreneurial talent coupled with youthful freshness affords us the opportunity to present an exclusive fashion extravaganza," said Vanashree Singh, VShe Promotions director and convener of MTNDFW.

"The pulse of the developing fashion industry, MTNDFW's focus is on broadening the scope of talent and on defining Durban's role as the seat of young and emerging South African fashion talent," she continued.

"MTNDFW is fulfilling a vital role in the local fashion calendar and falls in line with our strategic objectives of unearthing and developing young designers," elaborated Leisureworx Chairperson, Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe.

"Local young designers now have a platform to showcase their work alongside some of South Africa's most established designers, many of whom hail from Durban, and in doing so increase awareness and support of their brands' Vanashree said.

A major focus of MTN Durban Fashion Week has always been the business of fashion and as a promotional vehicle MTNDFW strives to drive export and employment growth in the clothing and textile industry in South Africa.

As a centre of excellence for fashion and design, Durban produces extraordinary talent. We invite the world to come and discover the best new young and emerging South African talent at MTNDFW '07.

Launched in 2005 at the Durban International Convention Centre, Durban Fashion Week showcases the best of young and emerging South African designers, as well as providing a platform for SA's top designers and couturiers.

Last year nearly 50 designers – both local and international – shared the catwalk in a fashion extravaganza which has now taken its place on the international fashion calendar.
