Savanah Gerber

Nelson Mandela University

Hello, my name is Savanah Gerber, and I am born and raised in Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth) in South Africa. I recently graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Fashion Design at Nelson Mandela University, and I am now studying further to obtain my Honors Degree in Fashion Design, also at Nelson Mandela University. For my future career, I hope to gain experience and knowledge so that I may one day start my own brand. In the research i did for this competition, I discovered a lot of information that has changed my perspective in fashion, and has made me consider using sustainable and ethical practices for future works where it is possible and that sustainability can easily be achieved as long as it is considered in every step of the design process.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
