"Runway Prestige is based on the vision of unity and exclusivity,” explains Rabab Abdalla, founder and executive producer of Runway Prestige New York.

“We believe in fostering a space of tolerance and respect whilst cultivating and encouraging our fashion designers’ creativity and cross-cultural fashion exploration. We are extremely excited to bring our New York fashion production to South Africa. We aim to empower designers to explore other ecosystems of production and distribution. We are transcending geographical boundaries and creating an open platform for designers to be inspired by other cultural fashion history, trends and expression."

South African haute couture designer Jacques LaGrange says: “Having worked with NYFW for the past three years consecutively, I can confidently say that South Africa is right up there in terms of vision and quality. The cross-pollination of NY and SA makes perfect sense in the world of fashion and gives people something truly spectacular to look forward to and be a part of!”
