Birmingham, UK (February 17, 2016) - Zimbabwe Fashion Showcase - Fashionistas throughout the UK will be flocking to Birmingham when the annual Zimbabwe Fashion Showcase returns to the city in July. The show, which made its debut last year was launched by Chiedza Dawn Ziyambe to support emerging and semi established designers of Zimbabwean heritage within the UK by providing them with a platform to showcase their designs. Following the success of last years show, Zimbabwe Fashion Showcase is back to bring together the best in Zimbabwean fashion from 28-30 July 2016. Hundreds of fashionistas and some well known faces are expected to attend the fashion showcase.
