The countdown has began for the third installment
of South African Menswear Week (SAMW16). SAMW16 will take place from the 3 -6
February 2016, at the Cape Town stadium.
More than 35 designers from across South Africa and 6 designers
from other countries in Africa will be participating in Africa’s only focused
menswear fashion week. See the show schedule below:
The “non-padding” of the show schedule, according to Ryan Beswick (co-founder of SA Menswear Week), is why
the world has taken note of South African Menswear Week designers, especially
young talent such as Lukhanyo Mdingi, OATH by Rich Mnisi and Jenevieve Lyons.
Designers such as Chulaap’s Chu Suwannapha and MaXhosa’s Laduma Ngxokolo are
also considered the next generation of South African design superstars on the
global stage. And they are back to showcase their latest AW16
collections.
Ensuring that SAMW February AW16 collections are truly
showcasing the best of South African menswear design, established designers and
labels such as Craig Port, CSquared, Paledi Segapo and Fundudzi by Craig Jacobs
will be scheduled alongside the emerging talents including Mzukisi Mbane,
Augustine, and new talent designers Siviwe James and Neo Serati. Continental
designers such as Orange Culture, Tokyo James and Mai Atafo from Nigeria will
showcase with designers from Angola, Tanzania, Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe.
South African Menswear Week AW16 promises to push technology and
show high-end production; from world-class catwalk shows and presentations to
talks by renowned trends analyst Nicola Cooper. There will be various functions
including the screening of fashion and culture documentary and an opening event
in the run-up days to the shows.
Limited Tickets are available on WebTickets for selected shows.
