On the 25th – 26th March, FWBJHB 2021 plans to roll out an entirely digital “cultural fashion platform” for designers to use as they see fit. Countries like Shanghai and Moscow went digital for their fashion weeks in late March and April 2020 including FWB BOTSWANA 2020 which held a physical and Digital event in October which was themed “Phygital Experience” (that’s physical space and digital technologies).
This year, we have yet another exciting experience in store for fashion lovers. This fashion show will highlight how current fashion trends are predicted by moods, behavior and buying habits of a consumer at a particular time, and to cope with ever-changing technologies, markets and consumers are rapidly evolving from following traditional, static and demography-based criteria towards more dynamic, modern, lifestyle and psychographic influences.
