So far designers from the region include representatives from Samoa,
Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia.

The fashion season which began with the FJFW2017 launch last week will
include several events in the next few months leading up to the main show in
May.

The events include “Fashion Retailers Best Dressed Shop Window
Competition”; a photography exhibition of the history of Fiji Fashion Week; and
the “Most Fashionable Office Staff Photo Competition.”

“We have had so many successes in developing designers and the industry
within Fiji and the Pacific that we have decide to celebrate these achievements
by theming our event this year with the color gold,” Ms Whippy-Knight said.

“Gold represents many emotions, passion, courage, love and compassion,
and it is also evoking sparkle, glitz and glamour it’s the perfect
combination as the theme for Fiji Fashion Week 2017.”
