Fashion festival marks symbolic women’s celebration

BLOEMFONTEIN: The colour pink will be underscored as the trendsetter during the Women’s Day Business and Fashion Festival set for Saturday, 9 August, in Bloemfontein. This will be Bloemfontein City Hall and forms part of the annual Free State Fashion Week (FSFW).
Making a statement with the theme “Glam with a Touch of Pink” the occasion will bring together national icons and local voices for a powerful showcase of music, media, fashion and storytelling.
Headlining the event will be Miss Universe for 2019, Zozibini Tunzi, who will be making her debut appearance as the host of the women’s breakfast. She will be joined by platinum-selling songstress Ami Faku, celebrated media personality Unathi Nkayi, and Bloemfontein’s own Angela Linda as co-host.
The organisers have also billed a line-up of local performers to showcase their talent.
Tunzi has expressed her excitement about being part of this, and encouraged patrons to show up to strengthen relationships in the spirit of Women’s Day.
“I am so thrilled to be your host for the FSFW Business Day event on 9 August. It is a day of celebration; a celebration of purpose, a celebration of power,” she said.
Candy Smith, chief executive officer of FSFW, said this year’s instalment of the fashion week, scheduled to be presented in September, would be one of the most meaningful ever produced.
“We are proud to be a platform that brings together some of the most impactful women in leadership, from fashion to music to media, and we are just as passionate about opening space for the next generation,” said Smith.
