The #EasyComeVintageChallenge is a fashion fair that will take place for the first time ever on Saturday July 30.
The seven youngsters who called themselves Vintage Africa, are inviting everyone who loves vintage fashion to attend this social event at Easy Come Corner in Mshadza.
One of the founders of the group, Given Mayisana, known as Skyy Givenchy, said the idea had started as a trend on social media as people posted pictures of themselves dressed in vintage clothing under the #VintageChallenge.

“I am a clothing model and I love vintage fashion, and formed a group with individuals who also love the fashion. We decided to localise the hashtag and host such an event to create awareness of our fashion sense, because we still get people who laugh at us for wearing old clothes or unstylish labels,” he said.
