Fashion Unpacked Master Class Vaal takes place on 1 October 2026 at VUT Desmond Tutu Hall, one of the standout events on the Vaal River Carnival programme this season.
Fashion Unpacked brings a practical master class to Vaal University of Technology’s Desmond Tutu Hall, opening the Vaal Carnival’s October leg with a focus on the fashion industry rather than performance. Aimed at students and aspiring designers in the Sedibeng region, the session likely covers areas such as design, styling or the business side of fashion, ahead of the following week’s Fashion Without Boarders Showcase at Vaal Mall. It gives the carnival programme an educational, industry-facing event alongside its entertainment line-up, and reflects VUT’s role as a partner institution across several carnival fixtures. Students and fashion-industry hopefuls in the Vaal Triangle are the primary audience. Confirm facilitators, topics and registration with VUT closer to the date.
