THE BUSINESS OF FASHION

Introductory NoteIn many respects, 2014 will mark the coming of age of South African Fashion Week as the country’s only business-to-business fashion platform.This is the year in which we saw our designers, who either own or supply stores, demonstrate a new understanding of business. This has positioned them to exploit retail and marketing opportunities like never before.

Balancing creative vision with entrepreneurial intellect and a keen grasp of the consumer’s hunger for self-expression, designers presented signature looks of a higher calibre of craftsmanship. The designers’ unique selling points carve differentiated niches in a competitive market.The unprecedented success of the SAFW Buyers Lounge which paralleled runway and installation shows, hosted 45 designers including nine from Durban and eight from Cape Town. Buyers from across the country bear testimony to this new energy.

2014 also highlights the exceptional progress that The Fashion Agent has made in opening a route to market designers. Currently supplying 75 boutiques, we were delighted when our recent survey indicated that an impressive 920 boutiques would now be interested in stocking local designers. The retail sector’s warm reception of the twelve new labels launched during Autumn/Winter 2015 Collections in October 2014 is further evidence of the market’s inherent appetite for innovation.

Global fashion’s fascination with menswear as one of the industry’s hottest new categories reverberates with perfect timing in South Africa too. We are fortunate to have both a generation of sophisticated and fashion-conscious male consumers as well as an exceptional core of highly directional, established and emerging designers. Thirteen menswear collections were shown at SAFW during 2014 and seven exciting new names, including SAFW Menswear competition winner, Andrew Chandler’s on-trend The Wolf label, were launched and are ready for retail, through boutiques and The Fashion Agent Online.

Edgars, the country’s biggest clothing retailer, continues to demonstrate their canny acumen that has kept them ahead of the pack. They fully supported the recent introduction of a comprehensive menswear component to the existing seventeen womenswear labels in the SAFW Edgars Designer Capsule Collections. The success of the designer store-within-a-store as both a retail draw card and a showcase of the best of SA design, continues unabated since its inception three years ago and remains one of SAFW’s proudest milestones.

The annual SAFW Designer Pop Up Shop, is another retail initiative with immense potential as both an additional revenue stream and to promote awareness of local labels. Fifty designers exhibited at this year’s event which generated R640 000 within 24 shopping hours.

South African designers continue to face daunting challenges, most particularly in regard to the availability of fabric – a challenge which, to our delight, many took on this year with characteristic ingenuity by incorporating distinctive digital printing techniques.

SA Fashion Week has partnered with Design SA in its dream to become the creative design industry it has the potential to be. We remain as true to that dream as the day we started.

Yours in Fashion,Lucilla Booyzen

“The fashion industry is hugely important economically. It is worth over $1 Trillion globally and ranked the

second biggest worldwide economic activity for intensity of trade.”

Frances Corner, Head of London College of Fashion

INTRODUCTION

The Business of Fashion is more than a slogan at SA Fashion Week. It is the underlying ethos that propels every action we take and drives our overall vision of a thriving designer-lead local fashion industry that can serve as a powerful engine for economic growth.

Mission of SA Fashion Week

Vision of SA Fashion Week

We aim to achieve this vision principally by providing designers with pertinent and ever-evolving tools and platforms to establish sustainable enterprises and to foster vigorous dialogue and knowledge exchange among all industry stakeholders.

THE BUSINESS OF FASHION

Designers

Partners

The fashion ecosystem needs a range of retailers, a strong youth culture and vibrant cultural institutions. It needs the interplay between street style and professional stylists, fashion media reporters, editors, bloggers and photographers, to produce a diverse and innovative environment conducive to expressing signature style. Creating an ecosystem takes time, energy and human desire. SA Fashion Week leads in this field in South Africa.

Although a classic designer culture is still unfolding in the local context, South Africa has a uniquely exciting dialogue in the making of fashion which draws deeply from its socio-cultural diversity. A robust business model forms the foundation of SA Fashion Week, and a strong network of designers, partners and knowledge-exchange forming key pillars.

SA Fashion Week facilitates the development of commercially viable local designer brands by providing a comprehensive range of strategic marketing services and platforms as well as learning forums, that designers may exploit throughout the year to optimise their revenue generation. The number of participating designers grew by 65 percent season-to-season between the Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter collections in April and October 2014 respectively with the latter introducing ten additional shows, twenty first-time SA Fashion Week showcases and the launch of seven brand new menswear labels through the inaugural SA Fashion Week Menswear competition, a first for the industry.

PILLARS OF SA FASHION WEEK

Knowledge Exchange Drawing in particular on director Lucilla Booyzen’s knowledge of the fashion industry gained over a career spanning more than 25 years, a critical tenet of the SA Fashion Week’s business principal is to pass the benefit of this experience to young designers through various knowledge exchange forums.

Knowledge Exchange Forums in 2014 included:

1. Pop Up Shop Exhibitors Workshop | Retail & Exhibition Mentorship

The Pop Up Shop Exhibitors Workshop which included informative Q&A sessions, allowed designers to gain valuable insights on how to maximise the return on their investment in the run-up to the 2014 Designer Pop Up Shop in Brooklyn Mall.

2. Seasonal Sponsorship Forum | Sponsorship Leveraging Workshop

Sponsorship forums that draw all sponsors and SA Fashion Week together with the aim of exploring and implementing mutually beneficial collaborations that can optimise investment are held seasonally in anticipation of flagship SA Fashion Week collections events.

SA FASHION WEEK

SA Fashion Week actively unearths new talent by running a series of national competitions throughout the year. These are viewed as educational and mentorship, as well as most importantly, marketing, opportunities, for fledgling designers.“Competitions allow you to fast-track insight into your brand. They force you to look at your business in the stark light of day and do what is necessary to succeed and survive” Joseph Altuzarra, women’s luxury ready-to-wear designer.

The SAFW New Talent Search has established itself as one of the country’s most prestigious talent searches with a proud record of having launched the careers of several industry stars including David Tlale, Jacques van der Watt of Black Coffee and Anisa Mpungwe of Loin Cloth and Ashes. In 2014, the competition significantly amplified its reach and impact by partnering with the Sunday Times Fashion Weekly (STFW), the fashion supplement of the country’s largest circulation Sunday paper. The STFW partnership formed an integral part of the judging panel and competition process, as well as providing a strong foundation for media coverage with weekly highlights in the STFW of the competition finalists leading up to SA Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015 Collections.

The SAFW Renault New Talent Search targets young designers with existing labels. We believe that the New Talent Search should reflect the changes in the surrounding fashion arena, which reflects the 2014 competition theme: A New Point of View. “Fashion is at a crossroads. What is now being referred to as ‘The Great Recession’, has ensured that creative expression, as well as any element of risk in the retail environment, has been suppressed and discouraged. It is with this new undercurrent of passing the great recession in mind that the SAFW/Renault New Talent competition shifts its focus in 2014” Dion Chang, Trend Analyst.

After a deliberating judging process, the winner was Pieter Burger and Carla Roos from young designer brand: Wake.

The 2014 prize included:

- R20 000 cash prize sponsored by Renault- A show at SA Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015 Collections and access into the A/W’15 Buyers Lounge- Editorial in the Sunday Times Fashion Weekly- Keys to a new, branded Renault Mégane Coupé

Previous New Talent Winners include:Jacques van der Watt (Black Coffee), Terrence Bray, Anna-Mari Pretorius (Kottin & Twille), Maya Prass, Sam Bulgin, Roman Handt, David Tlale, Ella Butler (Superella), Lisa Jaffe (Guillotine), Stephen Quatember, Tiaan Nagel, Katherine Mortner, Anisa Mpungwe (Loin Cloth & Ashes), Zano Sitheto (Skorzch) and Cutterier by Laz Yani.

SA FASHION WEEK

SAFW calls upon students from across the country to exercise their innovation, skillset, tertiary practice and creativity through the annual SAFW Student Competition. This national platform identifies the designers of the future, pushes students in their design process, and motivates both students and colleges alike. With 2014’s theme “The Great White Shirt,” students were required to inventively create or recreate a white shirt that includes the traditional elements of a shirt. The challenge lay in stretching their creative boundaries to transform a traditional garment into a runway-ready high fashion piece. Additionally, the shirt had to be of natural fibers with a 20% craft element.

Skip, renowned premium detergent brand, came onboard for the SAFW Student Competition. The platform is open to 2nd, 3rd and final year fashion students from across the country in order to maintain the high level of entry of the competition. Students washed their entries in Skip Fiber Protect Liquid and photographed themselves washing their garments as “selfies” before entering their image and garment into the competition.

SA Fashion Week works together with fashion colleges/institutions from across the country in identifying and nurturing future talent.

15 established institutions, colleges and universities participated in the SA Fashion Week Student Competition, including:

1. University of Johannesburg2. Vaal University of Technology3. CTN College of Fashion Design 4. Tshwane University of technology 5. Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University6. Xela Fashion College 7. CTN University of Technology8. Central University of Technology

The glossy publication has become a staple accessory at SA Fashion Week Collections. Published by Schreiber Media in conjunction with SA Fashion Week, the SA Fashion Handbook celebrates fashion in entirety. It also serves as a directory for media, buyers and end-consumers to connect with listed designers who run their businesses on a professional level. Furthermore, the publication highlights fashion and trends in all art forms, and is defined by looking forward as a trend forecaster for upcoming seasons. Biannually, the handbook connects with 7000 end-consumers in fashion retail.

The SA Fashion Handbook serves as a touch-point between SA Fashion Week and audiences to communicate The Business of Fashion to the industry.

Editor Grant Schreiber explains the partnership as “a co-marketing strategy where both SA Fashion Week and Schreiber Media gain exposure through a joint partnership. We exclusively highlight SA Fashion Week’s work, focussing on The Business of Fashion. We in turn gain exclusive exposure through SA Fashion Week, helping each other to build our brands. In return, we receive a platform for exposing the handbook to a key audience of fashion decision-makers and fashion professionals. In the business today, collaboration is key – and we’re a strong example of how we can build our respective brands and collaborate at the same time.”

The SA Fashion Handbook was available at selected Exclusive Books stores. It was also available at the Designer Pop Up Shop in Brooklyn Mall and selected designer boutiques across the country. It will also be available at the 2015 SAFW Ekurhuleni Designer Pop Up Shop in Eastgate Shopping Centre.

“We have a generation of young men who are more sophisticated than their predecessors and who have no qualms about buying contemporary, directional fashion,” said Dylan Jones, the Editor-in-Chief of British GQ.

Major international fashion brands such as Hermès, Lanvin, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada are expanding their menswear offerings with the launch of exclusive flagship stores. SA Fashion Week has focussed on growing menswear since 2010, but the category received major renewed impetus at the Autumn/Winter 2015 Collections with the first dedicated day on the programme and the launch of the SAFW Menswear Competition.

“In its quarterly earnings call in April, Prada, once a predominantly women’s-focused business, announced that over the next three to five years, it hopes to nearly double its menswear sales to 1.5 billion euros (about $2 billion) and would add 50 more dedicated men’s shops to its existing 30.” Lisa Wang, Contributor of The Business of Fashion.

Seven brand new labels featured in the inaugural SAFW Menswear competition followed by the Autumn/Winter 2015 Collections of thirteen established designers.

SA Fashion Week’s Autumn/Winter 2015 Menswear Day line-up featured the following designers:

PROJECT

Rekindling some of the strides made in harnessing the collective creativity of local designers and crafters by the erstwhile SA Fashion Fusion Project, SA Fashion Week stalwart, Jacques van der Watt collaborated with the Ekurhuleni crafting community to develop a ready-to-wear range. This collection was developed under the Black by Black Coffee label, inter alia for the SAFW X Edgars Designer Capsule stores.

The collection featured their hand-beading and painting as well as crochet work and handcrafted accessories and copper wire-work and was unveiled, to all-round acclaim, at the SA Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015 Collections.

“Craft, the skilful making of something by hand, is undergoing a renaissance in the fashion industry. At the highest levels, the renowned Paris ateliers continue to create haute couture featuring exquisitely executed embroidery and beadwork, as they have been doing since the nineteenth century. The fashion industry is beginning to realise that re-establishing the connection between creator and consumer has commercial as well ethical and environmental benefits.” Frances Corner, Author of Why Fashion Matters.

An exclusive preview evening at the Black Coffee store at Arts on Main prior to the SA Fashion Week allowed key media and interested guests to gain valuable insight into the collaboration between both the designer and the crafter perspectives.

Analytics consultancy Eighty20 has analysed the country’s spending patterns using Statistics South Africa’s latest income and expenditure survey. Accordingly, it has found, South Africans spend one-and-a-half times more on clothes than on education, with the bottom end of the market spending almost 10% of household income on clothing.

Statistics South Africa’s retail sales figures for September 2014, indicate a 2.3 year-on-year growth. Retail sales year-over-year (YoY) in the country averaged 5.07 percent from 2004 to 2014.

“I went to Africa four times last year. The level of handwork is just magical. I went to Nairobi, where they have collectives making bags for Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney. If these things can be properly regulated by honorable people, then fashion can be a wonderful way of getting people out of poverty.” Suzy Menkes, Vogue International Editor.

SA Fashion Week has introduced incremental route-to-market channels to enable designers to grow organically within a supportive stepped environment that allows them to unlock revenue and connect with end users at every stage of their business development.

Establishing sought-after designer brands is vitally important to the industry’s future. The increase in the number of designers supplying stores or owning their own over the past year is a gratifying measure of success, says Lucilla Booyzen.

“While the once-thriving garment and textile industry has gradually declined in the face of competition from the Far East, the domestic design scene is flourishing from quirky Jo’burg districts like Braamfontein and Maboneng, to Capetonian retailers like Mungo & Jemima and Mememe. There is greater consumer choice for fashion at a variety of price points and from around the world than ever before and, arguably, many more international business opportunities too.” Robb Young, New York Times.

First launched in 2010, the SAFW Buyers’ Lounge is a business-to-business opportunity to market the seasonal collections to an extensive database of buyers ranging from the chains to the independent boutiques. Designers benefit from the opportunity to expand their retail footprint and gain shop floor insights whilst buyers enjoy the one-stop convenience of seeing a large cross-section of the best local design on offer for an up-coming season. The Buyers Lounge also gives fashion media another opportunity to view collections and establish closer ties with the designer community.

RETAIL

The SAFW Designer Pop Up Shop is the only one of its kind in the country, as its set in a retail environment. This provides South African designers with the opportunity to connect with the end-consumer. Typically set in large, high traffic retail nodes, the concept was first launched in 2010 to lower the bar to entry to the buying public for designers.

Key benefits of the SA Fashion Week Designer Pop Up Shop:

Personal Connection:The platform allows designers to connect personally with a large number of potential consumers as well as with relevant media and retail buyers.

Sales:The bricks and mortar retail space, in particular, large shopping centers, remains the principal market channel in South Africa where an estimated 95% of all purchases are still done offline. The SA Fashion Week allows designers to access this captive market cost-effectively.

Awareness Building:Designers can benefit from the platform’s high visibility to consumers and the media to build awareness for their own brands.

Affordability:The Pop Up Shop offers retail space at a discount of eighty percent on the rental rates typically charged by the participating shopping centers.

Market Research:The pop up shop provides direct access to the market which allows designers, to gain valuable consumer insights cost-effectively with which to improve their offering.

Brooklyn Mall, Pretoria’s high-end shopping centre, hosted the 2014 Pop Up Shop for a consequitive year, from 29 – 31 August. This was preceded by a VIP and media-studded preview opening event on 28 August. Comprising of 52 designer stands trading over three days, the platform benefitted from the mall’s estimated 906 872 foottraffic for the month of August 2014 to increase year-on-year turnover*

Highlights of the 2014 platform included a 3m x 3m stand where The Fashion Agent represented eleven South African designers as well as the opportunity for corporate sponsorship of designer stands.

Marking a significant break-through in support of the industry’s growth by making high-end local labels available to a larger retail audience, top selling designers have included Black Coffee, Clive Rundle, Colleen Eitzen, Cutterier by Laz Yani, Gert-Johan Coetzee, Mantsho, Rubicon and Sies!Isabelle joined by ERRE, Fundudzi by Craig Jacobs, Ilan and Sober in 2014.

This collaboration between designers and the Edcon group holds multiple benefits which include the opportunity to jointly develop affordably priced ranges, amplified brand visibility and additional revenue streams. Designers also benefit from mentorship and exposure to all aspects of the value chain without relinquishing responsibility for garment selection, as well as the aesthetic of their respective designer rails.

To date 34 South African designers have collaborated with SA Fashion Week in the XSAFW Designer Capsule Stores. Thirty-four designers have collaborated with SA Fashion Week on this venture generating an estimated total retail turnover of +R9million since inception and with 11 528 units sold as of October 2014.

2014 Key Facts [January 2014 – October 2014]:

19 SA designer labels represented at Edgars X SAFW Designer Capsule Stores11 designer labels sold per store on average48sqm gross size per capsule store on average11 permanent shop floor employees employed by SA Fashion Week to ensure full operational control3 254 units sold at an average retail price of R848.00

Focusing exclusively on retailing South African designer collections, SA Fashion Week’s official e-commerce platform, Runway Online, is a local first offering consumers and fashion collectors SA designer sample pieces at discounted prices. Created to give greater access to local and international shoppers and open another revenue stream, the venture is still in its infancy but with recently released figures by Effective Measure Research indicating that 84.33 percent of online shopping is generated by local sites, is certainly set to gain traction in 2015.

“South Africa’s digital citizens are very comfortable with online transactions. With 73.76% of South Africa’s online shoppers using the internet to make banking transactions and over one third using their mobile for online banking there is a huge opportunity for the development of online commerce across all platforms.” Alan Morissey, Managing Director Effective Measure Country
