Fiji Fashion Week Director, Ellen Whippy-Knight says they will be showcasing the journey and improvements the event has come through to reaching its 10th year.

36 designers are now confirmed in the three main shows while 10 designers in the Children’s show.

The number of student designers are still yet to be confirmed.
