The event was a collaboration between Linda and Danie Greyling of Reflekt Model Management and Reflekt Development Division (a nonprofit), and the Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design from Stellenbosch. It gave about 25 students of Elizabeth Galloway the opportunity to take part on the same platform as celebrated designers such as SA Fashion Week designers Belinda Venter and Artho Eksteen, as well as Jessica Sheppard of Oddity, who is known for her collaboration with Mr Price.

"With this year's expo, we wanted to give emerging creatives exposure and confidence to succeed."
