Intwasa Fashion Show has come and has gone folks and for those who attended the show that was so much anticipated like me on Saturday, will tell you why this event has been talk of the town for weeks now and definitely for weeks to come. Well at StyleArchivezw we say kudos to organiser and producer of the event, one and only Gilmore Tee. I kept thinking, 'how are they going to make that place fashion-event worthy but I was impressed.
The event had 10 designers showcasing and the majority of them were our very own designers based in different parts of the country who had come to showcase their expertise. Thembani Mubochwa, who was recently awarded the designer of the year 2015 at the Zim Model Awards was one these creatives. He showcased some of his wedding gown range and I'm sure most will be saying 'we've seen them many times' but I'll say wait till you see this designers collection. Loved the way he combined the gold details in most garments and different fabrics and still mantained the wedding theme. Brides, this is the guy to talk to for a gown that's going to make you the main attraction on your day.
South African based designers who are under the Azzura Collection graced the event with their designs. Leandre Willemse, Mma Hogany Designs and House of Hohwa by Kuda Matiza were the labels who made a name for Azzura Collective. Also showcasing were The Heralds, two young designers who were mentored by Ara Kani. Well we couldn't expect less especially if you trained by the best in the industry.
Then we had student designers from Bulawayo Polytechnic showcasing what they being taught and we realised why some call it the best art school. The last to showcase were the 6designers who were part of the Edgars Young Designers Development Program last year. These saw two of the designers, ShadowbySdue by Sidumiso Ncube and Sanah Designs by Sanah, who just raised our flag at the Durban Fashion fair showcasing some of the garments from DFF. Nkululeko Ncube of Ara Kani was the last to showcase his rebel range and how we loved all that camouflage.
When it comes to attendance, well the Bulawayo fashionistas didn't disappoint. We had the likes of Byo socialite Mbo Mahocs, Byo gothic designer Sidumisile Sibanda of Lady BlackRunnaway, Best dressed male at the ZFW red carpet Welsh the stylist (looking dazzling as always) and the ever-so gorgeous Miss Earth Water Lebo Mmakola. Former Mr Bulawayo and renowned model Keith Oliver also graced the event as well as the diva herself, Nyasha Mtamangira. With the best of entertainment from PrayerSoul I'd definitely rate the event a 8/10.
We definitely can't wait for Intwasa Fashion Show 2016
