Cape Town students show off their eco-friendly designs in a green fashion show
Who knew that recyclable fashion could look so good...
It never ceases to amaze us the depth of talent that exists in our country.
Whether that comes from innovative product conceptualisation or design, the ideas are just astounding. And of course, we love to take share the shine with our talented designers.

Toward the end of last month, student designers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology showed off their eco-friendly designs on the ramp.
