African Fashion International (AFI) and Foschini are once again partnering to introduce Fastrack to Cape Town at Cape Town Fashion Week at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on 13 July 2011. This developmental initiative aims to fast track the careers of students and graduates in both the design and retail industries.

"Foschini is committed to supporting and developing talent for the retail industry. The day, in collaboration with The Cape Town Fashion Council (CTFC), is the perfect platform to partner in an initiative that is sustainable with the primary focus of fast tracking student careers for the future," says Alex Harris, GM of Foschini.

As a follow-on from groups at Joburg Fashion Week, the Cape Town's event will feature a graduate design competition together with a strong recruitment focus, interactive workshops, street fashion and entertainment. Experts from the group will be on hand to facilitate workshops, taking interested students and graduates through the entire supply chain process within the retail cycle.

The winners of the graduate design competition will win an internship programme with the group.
