Top ten student designers shortlisted for Vodacom Durban July
Talent abounded on the tastefully decorated runway with competition ensembles sewn from a range of innovative ideas that suited the card-inspired 'Leader of the Pack' theme. Models wore outfits boasting diamond cut-outs, geometric prints and stylish accessories. ?
Popular Durban designer and one of this year's eight Invited Designers, Zama Mathe, felt the students pushed the envelope: "I loved the fact that the students can construct a garment really well, interpret the theme in an indirect way and create a raceday ready outfit that is fashion forward and trendy."??
The finale will play itself out on the Action Stage at Africa's Greatest Horseracing Event on July 2 with the eventual winner walking away with an array of prizes including a trip to New York fashion Week.
Until the big day racegoers can join in the July fever festivities by attending one of two Fashion Experience Shows made up of the stellar collections from the eight Invited Designers as well as creations from the finalists of the national Vodacom Durban July Fashion Challenge and the regional Young Designer competition. ?
Tickets for the two remaining spectacular Vodacom Durban July Fashion Experience Shows are available through fashionbooking@goldcircle.co.za or Thobeka on 031 - 314 1645.
