SAFW launch party: The fashion highs and lows

The stars were out last night at the Jameson SA Fashion Week Opening Party. Our Fashion Editor, Ayanda Ngcobo, brings you our fashion hits and misses from the bash.

HITS
Donald

Donald

Donald is looking very sharp and on trend in his leather jacket with houndstooth printed detail. We like.

Lerato Kganyago

Lerato-Kganyago

We love the cut of this dress – it suits her shape! She also ticks the Big Hair box. Nice one Lerato!

Pearl Thusi

Pearl-Thusi

Even though peplum is so 2012, the dress looks great on Pearl. The colour compliments her skin tone and we heart her new hair!

MISSES
Nandi Mngoma

Nandi-Mngoma

Nandi Mngoma looks unusually frumpy and totally out of her comfort zone. The make-up is way too much!

Loyiso Gola

Loyiso-Gola

Loyiso Gola didn’t make much of an effort. He just put on a suit, so not much to say about him.

Samkelo Ndlovu

Samkelo-Ndlovu

A bad cut and an outrageous print spoils her stunning statement accessories, hair and make-up.

Pearl Modiadie and Tumi Voster

Pearl-and-Tumi

Pearl who normally nails it, looks like a matric dance date while Tumi rocks her more on-brief shocking pink suit. Were they dressing for the same event?
