Gaborone Fashion Weekend 2012 - Heaven In A Hall

The weekend we had all been waiting for came and drifted all the fashion religious into a little heaven in a hall. The amount of excitement bestowed among everyone could just show from miles away, it was my very first time attending the biggest fashion event in the country so yes i was bound to get a heart attack caused by my excitement. You know what they say, a picture can say a thousand words, NOW ALLOW!

THE RUNWAY


Some of the designers showing were  Mummy Molapo, Butlhe Mguni, Lesley Mmolokele, Sino Ragontse, Aobakwe Molosiwa, Botho Chalebgwa, Lebo Merafhe and Fatima Mekgwe. Their collections were all so daring yet simple, also daring at the same time.

















THE PEOPLE
I was very much impressed by everyone who attended this event, their out fits bled style in every way possible i could not just deal at all, it's amazing how this city has many style potentials and they only come out on such events.

 Thank you to every one who came to my blog and read about the event, Although the first night was for emerging designers, and the turn out wasn't as strong, the second night proved to be the best attended and more of a success, to the delight of the established designers showing on that night. Look out for more of this story on Pristine Mag and ElleSA where i am featured. Stay stylish ♥
