PNG Fashion and Design Week 2017

With the launch of PNG Fashion and Design Week 2017, the call out was made for interested models to express their interest.

Also was the emphasis on the model’s requirement of 165cm minimum height for females, and 170cm for males to be eligible.

“This is so we establish a standard going forward with runway shows and changing the standard of how runways in PNG are held,” said CEO Christopher Lam.

But this is not all. A model is the face of the brand and a bit more is required.

In one way or the other, PNG’s fashion industry could be described this way.

It is struggling, but surely making progress and this has not gone unnoticed.

Fey Penni, regional and internationally known designers, has praised the efforts of PNG Fashion and Design Week 2017 for their commitment into this industry, despite little government support and relevant agencies responsible for tourism industry in the country.

In an attempt to build the industry, PNG Fashion and Design Week 2017 has been holding workshops to impart fashion skills to interested locals.
