Friday, 12 September 2025
The Fashion Design Programme recently hosted its first Spring Market Day, a dynamic event designed to showcase creativity, promote sustainability and encourage collaboration.
Lecturer Siviwe Jack said third-year Fashion Design students led the initiative, which provided a platform for them to showcase and sell their original garments.
In addition, it encouraged sustainability through a clothing swap and aimed to create a collaborative space for various creative disciplines within the university.
“This event also aligns with the broader Fashion Revolution movement, fostering awareness around sustainable fashion and student innovation,” said Jack.
She said the objectives were to:
- Provide fashion students with a real-world platform to showcase and monetise their work.
- Create opportunities for journalism and photography students to document and cover the event, building their portfolios.
