They have been changing the face of the fashion industry in Africa. This year, Fashion Without Borders celebrated nine years of giving young and established designers a platform to put their best foot forward. This year, they plan to do the same as they unite over 15 designers and 30 young models at the Michelangelo Towers on Nelson Mandela Square on the 6th April. ?

The co-founder at Efigy Productions Serge Kabisoso tells ZiMoja that the concept goes beyond just showing off beautiful clothes by local designers. "This event is a platform meant for upcoming models and designers coming from disadvantaged backgrounds to provide them with a space to showcase their craft,' he says. ?
