Out on the streets for Joburg Fashion Week A/W 2011

Yay! Today is the day. Yes, the start of Joburg Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2011 is upon us and I'll be there covering most of the shows.

First up today is the Fastrack day at Fashion Kapitol in Johannesburg's city centre. Fastrack is a great initiative on the part of African Fashion International and Foschini as it seeks to 'fast forward' the careers of young fashion graduates by nurturing them (much like the British Fashion Council's NEWGEN platform).

The designer graduates are from design schools across the province, including the University of Johannesburg, LISOF, Tshwane University of Technology, Spero Villioti and Sew Africa.

It'll be amazing to see what the next generation in South African fashion has to offer. Pics and deets to follow soon. Until then, here are some images from the fashion week's campaign showing off some of Joburg's iconic spots.
