Fiji Fashion Week Founder Ellen Whippy-Knight

Fiji is 150th on the Fashion Week list of 500, and the talent in the country is what takes it up on that position.       

Fiji Fashion Week Founder Ellen Whippy-Knight says 11 years after its inception , Fiji Fashion Week is a big fashion industry bubbling along in Fiji now.

Whippy-Knight says this year there are designers coming from India , Australia and Vietnam who will bring competition to the Fiji Fashion Week.

She says in a fashion show such as this, designers are only as good as the next, so designers need to know what everybody else is doing as a benchmark to be able to improve.

Whippy- Knight says competition is good.

Fiji Fashion Week will be held this Friday and Saturday at the FMF Gymnasium in Suva.
