Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design aims to equip individuals with the skills and practical experience they require to handle the entire creative process of fashion – from concept to design and creation. Personalised attention to individual students ensures growth and originality. We strive to produce reflective design practitioners who are ready to enter the fashion industry with the utmost expertise and confidence. Our goal is to empower learners through training and skills development, thereby allowing them to become economically independent and transfer their skills to others. The institution’s founder, Elizabeth Galloway, recognised that the fashion industry needed educated and well-trained individuals to maintain the high standards of the fashion industry, both locally and internationally. The academy was thus established in 1996 to address this need. Elizabeth is passionate about educating students and ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary skills to add value to the local industry, and also to make their mark internationally. In addition, the academy acknowledges and promotes the importance of academic competencies, which may give a stronger voice to fashion designers among other professionals. The Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design campus and residences are based in the vibrant university town of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape.
