DURBAN FASHION FAIR PROMOTES BUYING LOCAL

ETHEKWINI Municipality is doubling its efforts to encourage the buying of locally produced goods.

As part of these efforts, the Municipality will host the 2021 Durban Fashion Fair

(DFF) from December 15 to 17 at the Durban Exhibition Centre.

The fashion showcase will feature 12 shows with collections from local designers, as well as pop-up shops with fashion products for sale.

All shows will be held between 6pm and 9pm.

To further empower fashion designers with information and the necessary business linkages, the Municipality will host the Durban Fashion Industry Engagement on December 15 at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre.

The engagement – which will target the whole fashion industry value chain including designers, stylists, hair and make-up artists, TV wardrobe managers and more – will highlight and share tips on how to grow a fashion business.

Supporting and buying from local businesses is encouraged, as it boosts local economic growth and creates employment.

DFF tickets are available for R100 per show at all Boxer and Pick ‘n Pay stores, as well as from www.webtickets.co.za
