Lifestyle influencer Sarah Langa is back on the runway and had her first international show.
Known for working with several fashion brands like G-Star Raw, Fashion Nova and Taibo Bacar to name a few, Langa walked for Rich Mnisi at Harbin Fashion Week in China.
“Walking my first international runway felt like a dream turned into reality. I had the incredible honour of debuting for the iconic @rich_mnisi at Harbin Fashion Week in China - a city where art, fashion, and culture collide in such a unique way.
“I spent the week collaborating with visionary designers and brands, soaking in every detail of their creative storytelling, and witnessing shows that pushed the boundaries of design and innovation,” Langa said.
“Endless gratitude to my agency, @anotherzero.africa and @therichmnisi, for believing in me and opening this door to such an unforgettable chapter in my journey. Here’s to growth, artistry, and taking steps - literally and figuratively - towards even greater horizons.”
Established in 2011, Harbin Fashion Week is an initiative that has attracted more than 1,200 international designers from more than 60 countries to participate.
China is known as one of the biggest fashion producers, and Harbin has used advanced technology to cement itself as one of the fashion capitals.
“Harbin Fashion Week takes innovation, green, technology, fashion and sharing as its development concept, artificial intelligence and high-tech as its driving force, and a beautiful life and fashion city as its theme, stimulating innovation to drive endogenous power, creating and leading people's new demands for a better life, highlighting internationalisation, industrialisation, artistry and marketisation,” read a statement from the organisation.
“It promotes the cross-border integration of new consumption, new experience and new economy, deeply promotes the coordinated development of the three-hour fashion industry belt in the three provinces of the North-East, builds a fashion highland of the 'Belt and Road' for Harbin, enhances its international influence and competitiveness, and becomes an important ecological platform for the internationalisation process of China's clothing industry.”
Mnisi has not yet unveiled the full collection he showcased at Harbin Fashion Week. This year, we anticipate more international shows for the designer, who has showcased at Paris Fashion Week and Lagos Fashion Week, among other major fashion shows.
