iLIVE. PHOTOS by Reuters, Jackie Clausen and Thembinkosi Dwayisa | 09 July, 2012 07:31

Glitz and Glamour were the order of the day at the Durban July. The theme this year was 'A Material World?'. Check out some of the ideas presented in the name of fashion. Yes, a picture paints a thousand words. We have some photos for you.

The Durban July theme...

 

A MATERIAL WORLD?

Seven billion people, the latest count.
Concern for the planet, the energies mount.

This event is red, that’s for sure.
But support for green, is part of the cure.

Spare a thought, for Mother Earth.
Need to save her, for all we’re worth.

Sustainably harvested, natural, organic.
Alternative fibres, no time for panic.

All these words, what do they mean?
For a start, change your routine.

Reduce, respect, reconstruct, ‘My Dear’.
Recycle, repair, rethink, ‘Monsieur’.

Show support, through what you wear.
Or what it’s made of, concern with flair.

Glitz and sparkle, are definitely in.
The overall impression, is what will win.

So for this day - Love red! Think green.
Your earth-friendly ensemble, will steal the scene!

The Vodacom Durban July
Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event
