All the glitz and glamour
Galleria Sandton was turned into a fashion and beauty haven at the TRUE LOVE Night of Style 2019. The theme – City of Gold – was beautifully captured on the runway, as well as by the host of A-listers that graced the evening
This year, local fashion designers, as well as retailers, showcased the best in Mzansi fashion – from stand-out metallics, mesmerising bridal wear to the crème de la crème of couture. The iconic brands that participated included Superdry, Polo, Rubicon, Keys Fashion, Gert-Johan Coetzee, Orapeleng Modutle Style Avenue, La Art Neviole Emporium, JJ Schoeman, Loin Cloth & Ashes and Ruff Tung.
