Thank You

Another successfully season of OFW has come and gone! We had an amazing turnout this season. Many thanks to the designers, models, sponsors, public, fashion fiends, bloggers, friends, media and of course the OFW team!

We would like to send special thanks to our fearless leader Hussein Rashid as well as Paul Valletta and Bruno Racine. Without them this event would not have been possible or gone as smoothly as it did. THANK YOU! Planning Team Many thanks to our remarkable planning team who has worked incredibly hard on this event for months preceding the event, you have all done a remarkable job. After countless emails were exchanged, long discussions, and many hours, you pulled the event off without a hitch. All of your dedication is deeply appreciated. We look forward to seeing what you all have in store for us next season.
