year, Design Indaba's Emerging Creatives Programme finds the most promising young minds of South Africa's creative scene to give them a leg up and hit the ground running in the industry. While the programme's main class will be exhibiting their work as part of Design Indaba's Nightscape event in Cape Town, the Extended Class offers applicants from Durban and Johannesburg an opportunity to exhibit their work in their hometown - at the KZNSA Gallery in Durban or at Fox Junction in Johannesburg. Meet the members of 2017's Extended Class: DURBAN Desiree Noxolo Gumede is a graphic designer from KwaZulu-Natal who graduated from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, focussing on the subliminal power of visual communication.

Design Indaba's Emerging Creatives programme brings together the leading lights of the design industry. See the raw talent of these students and newcomers as they blaze their own trail into each artistic discipline, starting with... THAT FASHION LIFE As a self-professed athlete at heart and fashion designer in training, Kgotso Letwaba creates sporty garments that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also influenced by his fascination with street art. Using the same inspiration, Sifiso Kunene infuses graffiti in his fashion design aesthetic while upholding an appreciation for the more technical levels of garment construction. Mpumalanga-based artist Titus Khoza, on the other hand, aims to build his brand of locally produced flip-flops that feature his own intricate pattern designs inspired by ancient African art. Hailing from a family of artistic minds, Nicholas Coutts derives his fashion style from historic art movements. Janine Turner is a young fashion designer with a playful approach to textile assembly. She challenges the norms of textile styling by combining unusual fabrics, while Nicole Smith's unique fashion designs can be identified by its simplicity, maturity and subtle approach to colour. Harnessing the power of upcycling, Ditro Mashigo enhances a basic garment with individuality using asymmetrical adornment and colourful embellishment in the city of Pretoria. Clean lines, bold colours and classic silhouettes are the design hallmarks of Namibia-born Tangeni Kambudu. Using a combination of skills rather than focussing on one field, Zoe Groenewald creates unique pattern designs for fashion accessories and home decor pieces.
