We are dedicated to supporting apparel, design and art commu-nities through a variety of initiatives, partners, organizations, and showcasing the best local innovators in art and music. We suport diversity on the catwalk, having models of all nationalities, shapes, sizes and sexual orientations. As an example, this year we had the pleasure of working with plus size and transgender models. 
 One great success was the collaboration of the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands with Ghana, and Vlisco Ghana. Hence, selected fashion designers and models got a lifetime opportunity to be exposed to the fashion world during our show.
