Hey fashion enthusiasts! After a brief hiatus, our beloved Conversations on Creativity series in partnership with the V&A Waterfront’s Artist Alliance is making a comeback, and we couldn’t be more excited. The new season is kicking off 2024 with an insightful talk on fashion you won’t want to miss.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 27, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, for a deep dive into the business side of fashion, hosted by the incredible Modupe Oloruntoba. Modupe, a renowned fashion industry insider, writer, and consultant at African Fashion Weekly, will be guiding us through the intricacies of building a successful fashion career.
They’ve also lined up some industry heavyweights to share their wisdom. From Anita Hlazo, the creative force behind Afrogrunge, to Daniel Sher, the brain behind @goodgoodgoodstore and @duckduckgoosestore, you’ll hear firsthand how they’ve carved out their niches in the fashion world.
Lukhanyo Mdingi, the visionary behind his namesake label, and Mikael Hanan, the innovative Founder, CEO, and Creative Director of Fields Store, will also be there to provide their unique perspectives.
Expect a vibrant discussion covering everything from creating a standout brand identity and navigating the tricky waters of marketing and sales to ensuring representation and accessibility in fashion. They’ll also touch on staying true to your vision and predicting future trends – all wrapped up in personal stories and professional insights.
All this is happening tomorrow in Cape Town at the iStore Queens Hotel, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. It’s a fantastic opportunity to network, learn, and get inspired by some of the best in the business.
Don’t miss out on this chance to elevate your fashion game. See you there!
