“It’s about creating a space where new ideas can flourish and where we can redefine what fashion means in our context,” Matsebula emphasized.
The Runway Revolution Fashion Show aims to:
– Spotlight Emerging Talents: It provides a platform for emerging designers and models to showcase their creativity.
– Encourage Participation: There is no registration fee for designers and models; only a portfolio presentation is required.
