Speaking to the school’s head teacher and award-winning designer, Brenda Warring, Maritzburg Fever embarked on a tour of the school to find out just what makes the fashion school one of a kind. “As we’ve evolved, we have been able to offer a full curriculum whereby students can learn fashion design and do illustration courses. The students at the school say they treasure their time at the fashion school, and that they have big dreams and hopes once they are done. Many of the students who attend the fashion school come from underprivileged backgrounds and therefore cannot always pay their school fees, which the fashion school takes into consideration and makes plans for.
