50 SHADES OF BLACK SHINES!

50 SHADES OF BLACK SHINES!

Date: 2014-06-06
From diamonds to sophisticated elegance, cheeky casuals and swimwear made out of recycled goods, to spotting TV stars such as Ashish Gangapersad, Sisa Hewana and Maurice Paige from Isidingo as well as Scandal’s, Clint Brink and Indian actress, Varsha Harpal, to onstage personalities like Darrius Pillay, Natalie Rungan and a former Miss South Africa, Joan Ramagoshi, it was a night of the who's who that turned up for the inaugural 50 Shades of Black couture fashion show in association with the Geness Foundation hosted at the Square Conference Centre in Umhlanga Rocks this past weekend!

Varshan Sookhun the Executive Director of the show said that he was over the moon with the turn out to a packed house of glamorous patrons lending their support to the KwaZulu Natal Blind & Deaf Society which is a cause close to his heart. Sookhun was also pleased to confirm that Dr. Sheena & Sunil Geness from the Geness Foundation committed their organisation for a further three years in lending their support to the 50 Shades of Black.

The Geness Foundation made a R30 000 financial contribution to the charity, and Dr Sheena Geness said she was also pleased that Durbanites contributed a further R50 000 from the various auctions that took place after the show therefore, raising R80 000 in total for the KwaZulu Natal Blind & Deaf Society.

"Watch this space for next year, with even more designers, more showstoppers and most importantly more money that will be raised for the KwaZulu Natal Blind & Deaf Society and thank you to all involved and who turned up," wrapped up a grateful Varshan Sookhun.
