Cameroonian fast rising fashion designer, Ngwane Liz wants every fashion designer, fashion lover and style enthusiast, whether a pro or a greenhorn, to know that the 2018 Business In Fashion Series (BIFS) event is coming to answer some of the biggest questions raised in the fashion industry.
The Business In Fashion Series (BIFS) is a two day event to train and motivate those interested in the fashion business to have a better insight into what really goes on behind-the-scenes in the industry. The event is billed to hold this March in Douala (Please wait for details).
“Creativity is not the only thing a designer has to possess. A designer must have some business to maneuver his/her way through the highly competitive fashion industry. As fashion gets more and more corporate driven, it is important to be aware of the business climate and mechanics behind it all, says Ngwane Liz.
The young designer, who’s also the founder of fashion brand, Margo’s Mode further explains to us that most young people do not understand what it’s expected from them when they get into the fashion business as many only suffer from excitement and passion and forget all about branding.
“Most of the times in Africa, young people get so excited to get into the fashion industry by saying “I AM A FASHION DESIGNER”. They may be wrong or right to give themselves appellations but the question goes, is that the only role in the industry?” Ngwane asks.
BIFS has been founded to help those who ever loved to dress well, read fashion magazines, want to create designs or see their work on runways, billboards or fashion mags around the globe to meet experts who will help direct them into the fashion world.
