The Fasheka Launch Evening




Fasheka Models & Fabrics









Beautifully crafted clothing made with skill and care as a quality gift that will remain in your possession for many years as you wear it with gratitude and enjoyment. Choose your fabric from a treasure chest of colours and designs and let the designers craft your dream garment!
Why Fasheka……  Sewn with Love, Worn with Respect
Many women owe their livelihood to an income through sewing. In recent years, SA manufacturers have decreased due to the influx of cheaper foreign goods. Fasheka aims to reignite a passion for quality African clothing which is vibrant, colourful, stylish and appeal to a wide range of women and men of all races, shapes, size and age. Their garments tell a story of cultural diversity, ubuntu and joy.

Buying Fasheka Garments Enables the ‘Kiss of Life’ and Livelihood of 87 Very Talented Women 

Your support of Fasheka in turn supports the women from the Topsy Foundation in providing them with ongoing work and income. Tommy Edmond CEO of Tourvest was one of the first supporters of this initiative and has bought into the concept and his company regularly purchases Fasheka garments.

Fashion Kapitol Opened in 2011
The Kapitol, the focal point of the Fashion District, is Joburg’s first public outdoor fashion ramp. It also has a small amphitheatre. Several buildings were demolished to make room for the venue, a square with several shops facing it, and an arcade linking Pritchard and Market Streets.
A large mural flanks one of the walls. This was created by Rasty a graffiti artisit.

In offices upstairs, GIBS Business School and the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship for the past few years have brought an intellectual focus to the district.

The Fashion Shack is an informal eatery and shop with a variety of products and consumables.
The heart beat of the Fashion District is alive and well - pumping with passion, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship! Gail Signing Off on behalf of X Factor Brands!
