The Emerge ALÁRA Awards are down to the final six after applications opened in July.
The Emerge ALÁRA Awards are an Africa wide search for exceptional talent in Design, Art, Fashion and Cuisine. The Fashion Edition aims to find the most promising young designer and fashion media creative who will be offered the opportunity to present a retail collection and exhibition respectively.
