Khayelitsha Fashion Week

Khayelitsha Fashion Week returns to Artscape Theatre Centre celebrating its 11th anniversary with a bold focus on Upcycling (Recycling).

Expect a vibrant showcase of sustainable fashion, fresh talent, and innovative design as emerging models and designers take to the runway after months of training, workshops, and industry-led masterclasses.

This year’s theme, “Trash to Trend,” challenges designers to transform recycled and waste materials into stunning fashion pieces.

From eco-conscious collections and cultural storytelling to networking opportunities with fashion industry professionals, this milestone event highlights the future of South African fashion while championing creativity with purpose.

Join us for an unforgettable showcase where recycling meets high fashion.

The Mother City Fashion Experience represents more than just a runway show, it is a movement born in the heart of Khayelitsha, created to showcase raw talent, creativity and the powerful stories of designers from townships and beyond.

It stands as a platform for emerging and established designers to express identity, culture, and innovation through fashion.
