60 days and counting to the Swahili Fashion Week in Dar es Salaam

SWAHILI FASHION WEEK NOW FIRMLY ESTABLISHED AS A FASHION TOURISM EVENT

(Posted 08th October 2014)

The annual Swahili Fashion Week is now less than two months away and preparations are in high gear to once again deliver perfection for Mustafa Hassanali’s signature fashion event.

Now in its seventh year will 24 of Eastern Africa’s best designers showcase their collections, which can – from the previews seen – only be described as a breathtaking mix of colours, fabrics and accessories, ingeniously blended to show what fashion means in our region.

From December 05th until the finale night on the 07th will professional and amateur models strut their stuff on the runways, all united in their mission to have the eyes of the world take a closer look at this part of the globe and acknowledge the strides fashion has made in Eastern and Central Africa, courtesy of Mustafa Hassanali’s vision which he pursued with great determination.

Like in previous years are visitors from near and far expected to flock to Dar es Salaam to see and be seen and to capture, in pictures and in words, Eastern and Central Africa’s best creations of 2014.

20 categories of awards will this year be determined and details are available on the Swahili Fashion Week website, allowing fashion aficionados to be heard when their votes have been counted and their choice of winners been announced at the Gala night.
