Fairview Race Course http://mype.co.za/new/locations/fairview-race-course/ The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Fashion and Textile Design Department will be hosting a fashion show at Fairview on Sunday, 11 May 2014. Students will design garments specifically for this year’s show under the theme “Art At The Races” and they will share their own interpretations through their design. The faculty has also added the fashion show at Fairview in this year’s curriculum. “We are very happy about the project and the excitement it brings to the students and it makes sense for us to be involved in something like this for our region and to support it,” said Harm Grobbelaar, NMMU Design and Textile Director. Each student will be allocated with 2 models and they can express their creativity from headgear to body painting and elegant garments. This is while they are competing for a top prize.” Promotional Manager at Fairview Race Course, Karin le Roux, added that the main purpose for the show was to introduce another element that has always been part of horse racing. The annual fashion show is in its second year and the event is regarded as one of PE’s most popular fashion shows linked to a horse racing event. The feature race on the day will be the Recall East Cape Derby (Gr3) to be run over 2400m. A teaser fashion show at the Media Launch for the race will be taking place in Bravo Bar at the Boardwalk Casino on Thursday, 24 April 2014. Fairview will be hosting the Prawn Festival on the same day.
