The 2nd Annual South Africa Fashion Awards is backed by official partners L’Or Espresso South Africa, Mentos South Africa, Dechavel, Mondayrepublic.com, Madepossible.ai, and Black Crown.
“This year’s nominees demonstrate the extraordinary breadth of talent, creativity and business innovation within South African fashion. From internationally recognised designers and established fashion houses to emerging creatives, models, stylists, entrepreneurs, retailers and the executives working behind some of the country’s most influential fashion businesses, the 2026 nominations represent an industry that continues to evolve and command attention globally.
“We are particularly excited to broaden the awards this year with categories such as Best Fashion Campaign and Fashion Executive of the Year. Fashion is not only about what we see on the runway; there is an enormous ecosystem of creativity, marketing, retail, partnerships, technology and commercial strategy behind the industry.
“The South Africa Fashion Awards exists to celebrate that entire ecosystem. We now invite the public across South Africa, Africa and internationally to vote for their favourites, and we look forward to bringing the industry together at Hotel Sky in Sandton on 3 October.”
— Kabelo, Head of Partnerships, South Africa Fashion Awards
