Durban July Fashion Fever Erupts

Durban July Fashion Fever Erupts

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2019-07-05

Gateway Theatre of Entertainment set the scene once again this year for Gateway's Vodacom Durban July Preview Fashion Show 2019.

The fashion frenzy was at fever pitch, the legs, the hair, the latest look, everybody who was anybody attended the glam affair.

I searched for the winning horse in the main race, but people's attentions were on the stunning models and their eyebrow raising outfit designs.

All the designers captured the theme with total commitment and absolutely unique creativity.

Socialites and fashionistas were star-struck when the eight raceday ensembles created by the designers hand-picked for the Vodacom Durban July Invited Designer Showcase were revealed at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping on Saturday night.

The nine designers involved took totally different approaches to their interpretations of the "Stars of Africa" raceday theme, providing fashion-lovers looking for creative ideas for their raceday garments with plenty of inspiration.

From traditional tribal shapes and pattern prints to dramatic modern Afrofuturistic looks, the crowd that packed around the runway at the Wavehouse was treated to a rollicking visual bonanza.

Now, on to race day, where the muscular beasts will beat their hooves into the turf while the crowd swills their poison of choice and adds excitement to the already charged atmosphere with a little gamble. A little risk mixed in with the little risquÈ.

See you at the track, if I can get a ticket that is.
