South Africa here we come!

After a 12 hour flight across the world we will land in Johannesburg tomorrow morning where it is straight into an intensive few days of meetings with designers, top industry figures including the Director of SA Fashion Week, and fusion crafters. A buying programme has been organised where SA designers will present their collections to Fashion Enter and asos.com and along side this a craft tour will take place to review the crafters work including embroidery, beading, felting, leather, screen printing and batik.
