They all showcased SA Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015 collections.
The show featured several talented, local up-and-coming designers, who took the opportunity to showcase some of their designs.
The partnership between SA Fashion Week and the EMM has culminated in a programme focused on the development and mentorship of Ekurhuleni designers in the creation of commercially-viable collections on sale at the Ekurhuleni Designer Pop Up Shop.
