THE countdown to the iconic annual Durban Fashion Fair (DFF) showcase has officially begun as the City rolls out its highly anticipated 2026 Model Scouting Roadshows across Durban.



Marking 15 years of fashion excellence, the DFF is once again opening doors for aspiring models to step into the spotlight and launch their careers on one of Africa’s leading fashion platforms.

Young people with confidence, presence, and ambition are invited to attend casting sessions taking place from 16 May to 6 June at key locations across the City.

The roadshows kick off at KwaMashu G Hall on 16 May, followed by Durban Botanic Gardens on 23 May, uMlazi Mega City on 30 May, and conclude at the Pavilion Shopping Centre on 6 June. All sessions run from 9am to 4pm.

This life changing initiative continues to produce success stories, with previous participants securing major campaigns, walking international runways, and building sustainable careers in the fashion industry.

Chairperson of the City’s Economic Development and Planning Committee, Councillor Thembo Ntuli, said the programme is a catalyst for youth empowerment and economic inclusion.

‘’Through these roadshows, we are taking opportunities directly to communities and ensuring that undiscovered talent is given a platform to shine. We call on all aspiring models to attend these roadshows.’’

To audition, applicants must be between 18 and 35 years old, with a minimum height of 1.75m for females and 1.84m for males. Attendees must arrive makeup-free, and bring their original or certified copy of their ID.
