The Fiji Fashion Week (FJFW) has noticed support and engagement from Fijian families who have recognised that FJFW runways are also about boosting young people’s confidence.
This, according to FJFW spokeswoman Lice Movono who said that yesterday, more than 300 children auditioned for the FJFW’s children’s wear show at the Yue Lai Hotel in Suva.
“FJFW is grateful that after 14 years of driving development in the Fiji fashion industry, we get so much engagement and support from Fijian families who recognise that our runways are not just about fashion but also about boosting our young people,” she said.

Musicians who witnessed the unfortunate trend at the time said there were a number of contributing factors to the decline.
