“We work with partners like FEDISA to nurture aspiring fashion students using the best technology to teach and train. Factories like TFG’s Prestige Clothing use some of the most globally advanced machinery and these students are getting a headstart,” he added.
FEDISA is a leading contributor to the global fashion industry, and believes access to technology is vital in grooming future fashion professionals.
Senta Morley, Group Director of Human Resources at TFG, agrees: “FEDISA graduates are highly regarded in the industry and training students on the latest technology will open up more opportunities for them after graduation.”

This has unequivocally made FEDISA the first choice for fashion studies in South Africa,” says Allen Leroux, Chief Executive Officer of FEDISA.
