Students finalists and models

Six Fashion students from the Department of Visual Arts and Design participated in this year’s Vodacom Durban July raceday competitions on the 4th of July at the Greyville racecourse in Durban. VUT’’s Surprise Motsepe (third year Fashion student) scooped a second place in the Avant-Garde category after showcasing one of the most amazing garments seen that day. The competition, which comprises various categories, attracts both established designers and students from other institutions around South Africa. Over the last few years, the Vaal University of Technology students have managed to do tremendously well, outperforming their peers and bringing back home first, second and third prizes.

The VAD department acknowledges Konica Minolta Vaal for sponsoring the Durban July trip. Ms Rosemary Naidoo (Fashion lecturer) accompanied the students to the competitions.
