Gateway’s interpretation of the Vodacom Durban July 2014 theme is the influence that fashion has had in film, depicted by classic actresses through the ages. “Old Hollywood Glamour” is the phrase on every fashionista’s lips. Award-winning designers, Paledi Segapo of PALSE Homme, Terrence Bray and Andre Martin take us through their styling tips as well as what the audience can look forward to when they attend the fashion show on the 4th of July at the Wave House.
“When I
think Old Hollywood Glamour the first thing that comes to mind is the jazz era
and inspiration borrowed from ‘The Great Gatsby” film. Over the top glam,
elegance and no cutting of corners,” says founder and creative director of PALSE
Homme, Paledi Segapo. According
to Segapo, a lady can be overdressed but never over elegant. For men, he
suggests fedoras (a felt hat), fitted blazers and brogue shoes (a style of
low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy
leather uppers with decorative perforations).
When
asked about what the audience can look forward to at Gateway’s Vodacom Durban
July Preview Fashion Show, Segapo said, “I’ve appropriately themed my show
segment, Walk…Live…Jazz! It will comprise of a reflection of old school look
and feel evidently channeling the jazz era. The fit and silhouette will be
modern classic and extremely unorthodox looking. The emphasis of this
collection is the cut, cloth and fit”.
“To
interpret Old Hollywood Glamour men should go for a tuxedo or a formal suit
accessorized with a silk scarf. Ladies should keep it simple – a beautiful long
bias cut dress and gorgeous jewellery,” says internationally recognized and
multi-award winning designer, Terrence Bray.
Street
wear designer, Andre Martin has decided to add ‘street vibe’ to the fashion
show segment. “I’ve decided to work with street wear in a formal way. Show
goers will see the Life by Andre Martin winter 2014 collection which is
available in stores. I will be styling ten astonishing looks using this latest
collection,” says Martin.
