Zimbabwe: Call for Proper Fashion Council

2 October 2014

Zimbabwean and regional designers have called for more investment in the country's fashion industry through the establishment of a fashion council that would develop the cut-throat industry. This came after the confusion which marred the Zimbabwe Fashion Week and SADC Fashion Week held on the same week at different venues. In an interview with The Herald Entertainment, South Africa-based Zimbabwean fashion stylist and designer Ngugi Vere said the country should have its own fashion council to promote upcoming and seasoned designers as well as the tourism sector.

"What we have witnessed during the week was immense talent but the challenge was the confusion on both events. Yes they all were successful but they didn't give the designers and fashion enthusiasts a treat of choice. We had no choice on where to go and were forced to attend whichever event we had been lucky enough to get invites to," he said.
