Gateway Theatre of Shopping hosted the glittering Hollywoodbets Durban July Preview Fashion Show at the mall on Friday evening as fashion fever grips Durban in the lead-up to the HDJ.
Invited guests and dedicated followers of fashion were treated to a show of rampant creativity, meticulous craftsmanship and pulsating entertainment.
The HDJ Young Design Award ten finalists captured the audience with their personal interpretations of this year’s theme – ‘Out of this World’. The YDA is a golden opportunity for young designers to get noticed and catapult their careers to the next level. The top three and ultimate YDA winner will be announced at Greyville on 1 July.
The depth of local talent was on show as the Durban Fashion Fair’s Rising Stars showcased their stunning designs. A selection of Gateway’s fashion brands provided dazzling ready-to-wear looks as HDJ inspiration.
Six invited designers presented the fashion finale with showstoppers that celebrated aspirational levels of self-confidence and diversity.
Gateway Theatre of Shopping Marketing Manager, Michelle Shelley said that it was a privilege to work alongside the mall’s HDJ partners and host the VIP Preview Fashion Show again after a break since 2019. “Fashion is in Gateway’s DNA and as a mall, we open up every day ‘runway-ready,’ thanks to our fabulous tenants. As a fashion focal point, HDJ season is an opportunity to celebrate our leading local and international fashion brands and pause for a pose on the catwalk as the official mall partner of the HDJ.”
