Street Cred fashionista announced
Durban's Thandiwe Madikazi's fashion sense has earned her the title of the KZN Fashion Council's February street cred winner.
THE KZN Fashion Council “street cred” competition is underway with fashionistas entering their edgy fashion for the coveted prize of…more fashion!
Thandiwe Madikazi is the February winner of the exciting new competition, which aims to promote KwaZulu-Natal designers and encourage people to buy local designer labels.
Dressed by a local designer, Brownz Sibusiso Shozi from Forever Trendy (KZN), Madikazi, a graphic designer by profession, looked effortlessly stunning in a floral dress which clinched the top spot for the month of February.
“I have always had a fetish for bold prints and this kind of fabric. We went shopping with my designer, Sbusiso Shozi, who convinced me that this pattern and colour will be perfect for my silhouette and skin tone, and he was right, I absolutely love how the dress fits and looks on me,” said the ecstatic Madikazi.
The competition considered the Facebook “likes” on the KZN Fashion Council official page as well as the judge’s ratings to establish the winner. A total of 22 outfits, which complied with the terms and conditions of the competition were entered to the final draw, and were all posted on Facebook.
The competition is open until November 2014. A winner is selected each month, and stands a chance of winning a R1000 voucher to shop at a local designer shop / boutique.
The KwaZulu-Natal Fashion Council (KZNFC) is a not for profit organization established to support the fashion design sector. The organization is founded and funded by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development and Tourism (KZNDEDT) and the eThekwini Municipality’s Economic Development and Investment Promotions Unit.
