This prestigious award presented by Durban Fashion Fair has served as a catalyst, propelling these talented individuals towards remarkable achievements.Ten of KwaZulu-Natal’s brightest young stars remain in the running for the coveted student designer title following the semi-final showcase at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping on Wednesday evening, 19 June.

The student finalists – from colleges across KwaZulu-Natal – are vying for a share of R100 000 worth of bursaries from the Hollywood Foundation for the top three students, as well as other prizes from Gold Circle, Schweppes, Gateway Theatre of Shopping and SA Fashion Week.The 25 semi-finalists, who were selected from almost 100 entrants earlier this month, paraded their race-day designs inspired by this year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July theme, “Ride the Wave”.

“For me, the most exciting of all is the way they have incorporated the theme and put it down in a story board. The technical side of the storyboard is new and exciting and the way they have incorporated the story board and tied it back into the garment. For me this has been very important.
