Says convener Gavin Rajah, "Our association with a supermodel of this stature catapults Cape Town Fashion Week into a different league. We identified Alek as the Face of Cape Town Fashion Week as this African beauty is not only a role model but an inspirational success story for the African continent. Alek personifies the core purpose of Fashion Week, namely, the successful business of fashion."
Alek's participation at Cape Town Fashion Week will include its launch on 17th August, the Anglo Gold Ashanti Show also on the 17th as well as the opening of the South African Airways Designer Collection on Saturday, 21st August and Sunday, 22nd August.
