Day 1 of the Durban Fashion Fair proved that the future of fashion in South Africa is in the right lane.
First to showcases were DFF mentees, who all brought out innovations and creativity with their collections.
Sicelo Dlezi brought summer to life with his bright collection of lavish dresses, flared arms tops as well as stylish jumpsuits.
For the culture, Ande Gibexego showcased stylish men’s streetwear of dungarees, rompers and artistic jackets.
Sinenhlanhla Ngcobo and Khulekani Sithole also wowed the crowd with their menswear showstopper collection of all black with a touch of gold.
The ladies didn’t come to play, they slayed hard.
Power to Zambhele Ntshangase who incorporated black and gold to reveal lavish garments of multi-layered dresses, shimmering blazers as well as flared gowns and jumpsuits.
