The Best of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Johannesburg X AFI Day 3

Last night the local fashion community turned it's attention to the runway at Nelson Mandela Square, to take in the latest SS16 collections for the third night of Africa International's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Johannesburg. Here is what caught our attention last night

MaXhosa by Laduma Ngxokolo

Never one to disappoint Laduma's show opened up with the powerful praise singer before models appeared on the runway  fitted in the finest knitwear.

The pieces were a projection of the  MaXhosa's signature bold colours and prints and we especially loved a few pieces with tassels details and a textured dress with a matching cape.

FAVOURITE MUSIC:  Laura Mvula's Green Garden provided the perfect summer soundtrack for Scalo's romantic black and white summer collection.

David Tlale brought monochromic magic to his show last night where we also spotted Ricky Rick in the model line-up. His  eponymous label saw  bronz-faced models in draping silhouettes, lace, delicate floral embellishments with a black print motif throughout the show.
