With layering being a major trend on a global level, we saw a number of graduate collections of 2016 incorporating layering into their looks. Betty Keet Design Award winner Paige Martins' brand Outline saw the layering of matte and shine textiles alongside a number of textures of faux fur and Perspex for highly detailed black and white looks. This was explored on the CTCFD runway in Robyn Seager's brand Nirvanic, which incorporated a feminine colour palette and longer, more voluminous shapes that aren't traditionally seen in menswear. With neutrals seen in a number of collections in the 2016 runway, another major trend was the inclusion of digital printing.

North West School of Design - Digital Advertising Fashion Show, Promoting Local Brands - through fashion - on a global stage. For the last 16 years, NWSD fashion students have showcased their traditional Advertising Fashion shows in Malls and Shopping Centres showcasing Avant Garde looks created by students who designed, made and modeled fantasy garments using branding and packaging material of the participating tenants in these Malls. Since 2014, Principal Marlene Oosthuizen decided to spice things up a little and to showcase these designs to a larger audience – a digital audience.
