MBABANE – Swaziland’s colourful and culturally inspired haute couture will
be debuted at the 2017 London Fashion Week.
Today the fashion world will meet in London for the bi-annual reveal of some of
the world’s biggest designers, who will be showcasing their latest collections
at London Fashion Week.
The world’s top fashion editors, stylists, celebrities, photographers and
bloggers will descend upon England’s capital for a week-long celebration of
fashion, and among them will be Swaziland’s very own Limkokwing Fashion Club.
The students will be joining the elite fashion gods to participate on the first
day of the eminent week at the stunning Freemasons’ Hall in Covent Garden,
London.
The university has been for the past weeks tirelessly working with its most
outstanding international students under the Faculty of Fashion and Lifestyle
Creativity, to produce world class designs for the show. Fabrics which make up
this vast collection reign from countries such as Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Lesotho,
Botswana, Indonesia, Iran and many more.
“Our fashion students’ stunning talents are set to dazzle the audience with
their rich Asian and African cultural fashion statements, which are a clever
combination of streetwear and luxury.
The collection will explore treasures engraved within African and Asian fashion
heritage to tell the unique stories of the different cultures that make up
Limkokwing University,” said Professor Cedric Bell the Vice Chancellor of the
institution.
Limkokwing University was selected by a panel of industry experts as the only
foreign university to have an entire section during the show. This will provide
the students with the opportunity not only to showcase their designs to the
public, but also catch the eye of distinguished designers giving them an
invaluable experience at the fashion week.
Well-known as the World’s First Fashion Label created by a university,
Limkokwing Fashion Club is collaborating with Fashion Scout, the UK’s largest
independent showcase, for emerging and established designs for talents during
London Fashion Week.
It is also widely known for championing and developing creative talents across
Europe.
