The fourth iteration of the Cape Town Resort Collections recently took place at the Zeitz Mocaa Museum at the V&A Waterfront on Saturday, 10 December. The iconic Zeitz Mocaa, the largest museum of contemporary art in Africa, created a dramatic backdrop for the fashion show.
Presented by Pick n Pay, the designers included Gavin Rajah, MaXhosa Africa, Thula Sindi, Imprint, Maze Collective, Taibo Bacar, Fundudzi, Matte Nolim. Former FutureWear winner Julia Buchanan, an initiative that supports South Africa’s up-and-coming creatives, showed for the third time and the Cape Town Resort Collections closed with the new summer range from Gavin Rajah x Pick n Pay Clothing.
Fashion Director Tania Durand was spotted wearing a Ruff Tung black and grey dress with a belt with a classic black blazer draped over her shoulders and gold heels. “The Cape Town Resort Collections was a beautifully crafted fashion event that left me excited for what's to come in 2023.”
Content Producer Farah Khalfe wore Zara wide-leg pants paired with a plain black tank and a sheer zebra print top with a front-tie detail with a Bottega Green style handbag.
