		<description><![CDATA[Local fashion accessories are taking it to the next level at NEXT21, an exhibition of export-worthy South African designs that are ready to take on the world. NEXT is an export development initiative powered by the Craft and Design Institute (CDI) and is now in its 4th annual incarnation. This year, more than 20 nationwide exhibitors will showcase products on an all-new online platform. The virtual exhibition is supported by the City of Cape Town and is free to view. It consists of a filmed walk-through that will bring displayed products and producers to life with interactive pop-up windows revealing informative videos, housing interviews and need-to-know facts about the fresh products that are being launched on NEXT21. The platform goes live on 25 March 2021 and runs until March 2022. The exhibition is geared to stimulate trade. For fashion buyers and retailers &#8211; both local and international &#8211; the undeniable highlights are the new purse, clutch, handbag, tote and tog bag collections being presented by a trio of proudly South African designers, namely, WREN, Mors Design and Chimpel.

		<description><![CDATA[Keen to discover the next generation of local textile designs? Look no further than NEXT21, the Craft and Design Institute’s (CDI) fourth annual trade exhibition of the hottest new export-ready South African designs. For 2021, NEXT features 7 outstanding textile producers who are launching new fabrics, homeware items and accessories as part of the exhibition, which sees a total of 24 local design houses put forward their best new ranges to the market via an online platform. Over the last four years, NEXT has developed a sterling reputation as a go-to sourcing point for international buyers, exporters, retailers, interior designers and decorators. This year is no different. Yet NEXT21 is made particularly exciting by the wide range of fresh textiles made by producers from across South Africa. Virtual visitors can expect to see the latest from Africa Ignite, Barrydale Hand Weavers, African Jacquard, Cape Alpaca Products, Cotton Tree, Amelia Jackson Industries and Chic Fusion.

South Africa’s only international design show, 100% Design South Africa, in conjunction with headline sponsor Dauphin HumanDesign® Group, promises to enthrall visitors with its superbly curated displays and a lineup that comprises top global design brands alongside local design stars. In addition to the established South African names and international design luminaries participating at this leading design show, some of the country’s brightest young talents are given a platform to showcase their work. Each year the curators, Creative Director Laurence Brick and Programme Director Cathy O’Clery, choose a designer whom they see as a future design leader. Last year it was Cape Town-based surface designer and artist Atang Tshikare, a self-developed multidisciplinary artist whose work combines line drawing and street art, working across mediums from pencil and marker to acrylic and aerosol. This year’s featured designer is Renée Rossouw, a recently graduated architect who is already making an impact on the design scene with her bold, colourful graphic patterns applied to a [...]]]></description>
