We believe in nurturing budding creativity and in involving the local community in major events. Zanzibar Fashion Week will be holding a school competition, involving youth in the festival and offering an amazing opportunity for blossoming young fashion designers to have their work shown on a major level.Local schools will participate in the competition, encouraging students to submit their best designs to the Zanzibar Fashion Week Team.
The team will select the three best designs of the competition and display them publicly at the Art Gallery. The winning design will be made into a dress and will walk the catwalk on the second day of Zanzibar Fashion Week.
The winning school will also have the opportunity to meet Zanzibar’s leading fashion designers up close and personal – a half-day special visit will be arranged with the school and Zanzibar’s top designers, teaching kids about the world of design and encouraging them to follow their creativity.
