On September 16, Capetonians were treated to a fashion show by African Fashion Space.
African Fashion Spaces Cape Town unveiled a fusion of Hi-Fashion and Culture paired with stunning scenery as Sinchui and Fuata Moyo showcased their stunning collections.
“The 16th September 2023 was an exciting prelude to what’s yet to happen over the next couple weeks as we rollout the few exhibition collaborations we have with some of the most exciting designers, brands and platforms associated,” said Jay Kayembe, creative director and co-found of African Fashion Spaces (AFS).
“It's never been about following the status quo, it's not a regular fashion show; it’s like walking through an amazing art exhibition that shows off the incredible creativity and talent in Africa through the many different lenses of culture.”
In the presence of fashion enthusiasts, designers, trendsetters, clients, partners, friends and family, Sinchui and Fuata Moyo each presented their collections under the starry sky along Table Mountain.
First to showcase was Sinchui, who presented their hip-hop-inspired collection titled “Everything in the Divine Time”.
The urban cool outfits with trendy jackets took centre stage, bringing back the golden age of hip-hop, just like Pharrell did with his music into fashion.
Fuata Moyo was all about celebrating South African heritage with the collection “ROOTS/ROUTES”.
Each outfit was a brush stroke, painting a vivid picture of the balance between our roots and our journey into the future. The collection showed that we can be proud of our past and excited about what lies ahead.
