Nokia Cape Town Fashion Week 2006
Nokia Cape Town Fashion Week, Africa's largest gathering of fashion talent, will take place 11th - 15th July 2006.

Now in its fourth year, the event has grown into one of the premiere "new world" fashion weeks providing an international platform for designers from across Sub-Saharan Africa.

This year's event celebrates a new creative spirit across the continent and has the theme New World Africa: meaning both the redefining of the continent locally and internationally and a celebration of the opportunities of 21st Century Africa.

Cape Town's heritage as the gateway for many international visitors to Africa and its eclectic blend of different cultures makes it the perfect meeting place for one of the most dynamic and diverse groups of creative talent in the world.

With African design influencing the collections of renowned designers such as Stella McCartney and Dolce & Gabbana the time is right for the talent of designers from the region to be celebrated internationally.

Designers showcasing 2006/07 Spring/Summer collections at the event include: Hip Hop, Kl�k, CGdT, Maya Prass, Habits, Sun Goddess, Fred Eboka, Catherine Moore and Dicky Longhurst amongst a total of over seventy designers.

Guest designers, from over ten African countries such as Nigeria, Namibia, Kenya and Tanzania, will also be participating
