Stadio’s students have been making extremely involved in the fashion world lately, with Lente Lubbinge winning the 2024 SA Fashion Week Student Competition. This win is a prominent achievement and shows the potential of emerging designers.
The fashion show is an opportunity for students to present their designs based on various themes. The school offers several programs, including higher certificates, Degrees, and BA honours. Steenekamp mentioned that the themes this year are imaginative and relevant to current issues. For example, higher certificate students will showcase a nature-themed collection called “Grow,” while first-year BA students will present designs with a “Future Utility” theme. Third-year BA students will display their work under the theme “Open Ranges.”
In preparation for the show, the students have worked hard with their dedicated lecturers. Steenekamp noted that the show aims to entertain and inspire everyone who attends while attracting new students to the fashion program.
This year, the Stadio School of Fashion is proud to collaborate with Proudly South African and Levi’s Africa. Sandeep Sokhanda, the country manager for Levi’s Africa, praised the students for their efforts and looked forward to seeing their progress.
