This year’s event will feature 45 designers from 14 countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal, France, Morocco, the United Kingdom, the United States , the Caribbean and Nigeria. The best  of these will be selected to showcase their designs during  New York Fashion Week (NYFW) in September this year.
