If you haven’t had an opportunity to visit the Durban Fashion Fair (DFF), Friday, September 20, is your last chance.
The 13th annual event started earlier this week.
Fashion lovers, buyers and industry role players still have the opportunity to witness some fabulous runaway shows from new and household-name designers from across Africa, including House of St Luke, Treasure Cindi, Victor Fashion Kingdom and Fabrosanz, to name a few.
Meanwhile, emerging fashion designers who have been training for nine months under the Municipality’s Fashion Development Programme, will also showcase their garments from 7pm to 9pm.
Durban’s Economic Development and Planning Committee chairperson, Councillor Thembo Ntuli said: “The DFF is one of the city programme’s components aimed at providing skills development, capacity building, and access to market opportunities.
“The DFF showcase is proudly Durban and encourages the public to ‘buy local’ and support the up-and-coming talents of tomorrow.”

“The Happiness Economy Tour”
Prepare for an evening of laughter as celebrated comedians, Jason and Nicholas Goliath bring their “The Happiness Economy Comedy Tour” to Durban.
The show will delve into the essence of everyday joys and challenges.
According to the duo: “‘The Happiness Economy’ is not just a comedy show, but a lifestyle exploration through the lens of laughter.”
“It’s about inspiring people to consider what truly brings joy to their lives. It’s not a motivational talk, it’s a comedy experience where laughter serves as the catalyst for self-reflection and ultimately happiness,” Jason explained.
Nicholas added: “Our show delves into the personal stories that shape us, discussing the highs and lows of finding happiness in a humorous yet poignant way.
“We knew it would be a good show and personally how important the message was for us to share but didn’t realise how important the message was. When you move forward and decide to put on a show of this nature, the hope is that it is always well received.”
