The South African Fashion week was held on the 29th of March 2012 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Rosebank. Mogadi Seabi reported in her weekly column of the City Press Voices section dated 1st April 2012 that there were rumours that designers were banned from using celebrities as ramp models. Most of the designers were unhappy about the rumours because they specially tailor made their designs for their ambassodors. The first batch of models who walked the ramp turned out to be celebrities. The Sheer Glamour Collection by Motions showcased one of the most successful ranges by bringing in presenter Minenhle Dlamini as their brand ambassodor Her full-length dress was made from 1800 fresh red roses and it was tailor made by floral artist Franz Grabe. Minenhle Dlamini was officially announced as the brand ambassodor for Motions hair care products. Mbali Maphumulo who is deejay Black Coffee's wife, wore a lace Rubicon dress with bright silver accessories Celebrities who graced the occasion include Sonia Sedibe, Pabi Moloi and Top Billing's Sinazo Yolwa. Designer Gavin Rajah showed a few garments which he also showcased at the Mercedez Benz Fashion Week. Thembi Seete looked trendy in a black Gert-Johan Coetzee leather peplum dress. Poppy Ntshongwana was the master of ceremonies at the hotel lobby where guests had their pre-drinks. All the models hairstlyes were done by Ursula Stephen who is an international hair-stlylist for stars like Rihanna and Keysha Cole. After the show, guests partied the night away at the trendy nightspot Randlords.
This is good stuff Thando, I'm not really into fashion but I know that somehow we're all influended through the way we tend to dress up - we all want to follow the latest trends! I just have an issue with the PR angle in your post, I'm struggling to pick it out. The text would also be more appealing if you'd add breaks between sentences, otherwise nice one!
