Graduation Dinner - A Fashion Extravaganza

Graduation Dinner - A Fashion Extravaganza

Date: 2012-08-08
Durban's most innovative art school, CFAD (Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design) will host their Annual Graduation Dinner, Fashion Extravaganza and TLTL Awards Ceremony at the DLI Hall in Greyville on Friday August 10.

The coveted event - which has been running for more than a decade - sees three significant events rolled into one fabulous evening: their annual graduation dinner which acknowledges the centre's graduates: a fun and fabulous fashion extravaganza created by and hosted by CFAD students, and the TLTL Awards Ceremony.

A sit-down banquet in the atmospheric DLI Hall provides the backdrop for the Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design's most important annual event.

A highlight of the evening is the tertiary institution's acknowledgment of unsung heroes instrumental in weaving the complex fabric of our community. "The TLTL - Too Little Too Late - Awards are given annually to individuals who contribute unselfishly to the community without the recognition they deserve. It is through their work people were able to break the silence," said CFAD founder Nanda Soobben.

Awardees this year are tireless environmental activists Liz Palmer and Desmond D'Sa and ballad singer Sonny Pillay.

The formality of the institution's graduation and awards ceremony is a counterpoint to the fun, fantastical and frivolous organic fashions created by undergrad design students that address the challenges of waste with a focus on recycling. This year the designers are all working to the theme of Mayan Party - celebrating the possible end of the world.

"Started in 2000, this fashion design project is an opportunity to stretch the creativity of the graphic design students and to explore a unique solution to the age-old problem of pollution," says CFAD staffer Tamlyn Martin.
