Somizi’s runway debut
The former Idols SA judge’s graduation comes just a few weeks after his runway debut at the 2025 Durban Fashion Fair (DFF).
Somizi’s showcase featured several well-known South African personalities modelling his collection.
His star-studded line-up of models included Metro FM presenter Zola Mhlongo, The Real Housewives of Durban cast member Sorisha Naidoo, DJ and influencer Sithelo Shozi, beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase, and his daughter, Bahumi Mhlongo.
“I told myself, if I were to showcase anywhere for the first time, it had to be at DFF. One, it’s home. Two, I have a history with the brand. And three, DFF has positively impacted so many local designers,” he said of the event.
