If you are a fashion designer, we are sure you have heard about the International Fashion Showcase(IFS), which was established in 2012. Created in partnership with the British Council, it is a platform for new designers to showcase their talent,especially during London fashion week. The aim is to bring fashion from all over the world to London. It has showcased over 600 designers from 70 different countries.
Other brands such as the British Fashion and UAL have partnered with the British Council to provide a programme for the 16 selected designers. They are set to undergo a business development course for about eight months. We arve sure they are as excited as you are while playing the Betway online sports betting app; after all, there is just so much for the taking.

The IFS 2019 will be a bit different for designers. The lucky 16 who have been chosen are set to start in August 2016. They will be showcasing the unique cultures from their respective countries. The six-month-longprogramme will help them learn branding, business development and interact with a wide range of studio artists.
The whole aim of next year's IFS is for designers to learn ethics in fashion and everything about sustainability tech. The studio artists together with experts from London College of Fashion will try and push designers to collaborate with each other before February 2019.
In 2019, Africa will be in luck as three designers from three different countries will represent them. That is Ami DoshiSalah(Kenya), Cedric Mizero(Rwanda) and Thebe Magugu(South Africa).
