Fashion Lab

The team is joined by co-founders of the SA Fashion Forum, Luyanda Madonna and Ayanda Nhlapo. The SA Fashion Forum is a brand new fashion-driven event based on growing the South African fashion industry, by providing workshops conducted by fashion professionals in their respective fields.

The team is joined by two dynamic Kenyan Brands - IKOJN designer, Cris Njoki and AACHERA designer, Sophie Achera - to discuss African emerging designers rising above. It’s great to see African fashion brands and designers rising above their circumstances and using their platforms to move ahead in the global fashion markets.

Liz and her panel respond to concerns that have been raised within different fashion communities (between Africa, Europe and the US). They dissect how these concerns could pose a threat to our fashion businesses and how they can be managed.

The fashion Lab team - Liz Ogumbo Regisford, Eji Benson and Francesca Marzilli - recap on highlights around Fashion Lab conversations throughout 2017.

The team talks about brand identity, joined by special guest Carlo Parisatto, CMO of CADICA, with a specific focus on the ability to meet customers' needs, interpret their ideas and provide original advice and solutions for their business.
