Fashion students graduate with spectacular show

The #studio05fashionshow2016 once again welcomed the fashion society and design community for a weekend of style and a platform to network in the heart of Johannesburg, at Constitution Hill.

Students from this year, ranging from full to part-time students, as well as the third year students, showcased their fabulous garments on the runway. This was an opportunity for all their hard work from throughout the year to gain exposure while having a blast.

Among the designers, were previous graduates in the fashion industry who were invited back to showcase their garments and knowledge gained whilst in the industry. This ‘come back’ of the alumni paved the way to a #studio05graduation2016 that took place in honour of those who kept persevering during training throughout their college years.

Being on trend and perfectly fitting, event highlights included the Mannequin Challenge both graduates and audience participating in the challenge. Studio 05 Institute of Fashion chose the #studio05fashionshow2016 to introduce their eagerly anticipated raffle competition, where ticket holders in the audience had the opportunity of winning one of three bursaries from #studio05instituteoffashion. The bursaries provide aspiring fashion designers with a hands-on training in fashion design through a one-year certificate programme and part-time courses in various modules.

The Studio 05 Institute of Fashion’s 13th Annual Graduation Fashion Show was made successful with sponsorships from a number of participating companies such as Revlon, Chamdor, Mofaya, Slip Stream, Elle, Longevity and Flying Fish.

With Johannesburg audiences craving inspiration, the fashion institution is already working on a calendar of events for next year that will produce more designers in the fashion manufacturing industry of South Africa.
