DINA DIAMOND
This Olympic gold medallist was the surprise addition to the modelling line up as she traded in her running shoes for fashion, which had the glamourour and celebrity guests on their feet, cheering her every step on the catwalk.
WIZO, the international women’s charity organisation, partnered with The Lupus Foundation and Luminance, the chain of high-end fashion boutiques, to put on a show that would have stood proudly at New York Fashion Week. International producer Jan Malan ensured it was an evening to remember.
The event was opened by Helen Maisels-Trisk who thanked all the generous sponsors and spoke about the wonderful work that WIZO does, caring for the most vulnerable in society. She introduced Judy Dlamini, CEO of Luminance who reiterated the Luminance positioning to “Live Life Beautifully” – mind, body and soul.
The CEO of The SA Lupus Foundation also spoke and thanked everyone for their support and wonderful contributions to very worthy causes.
The event attracted a full house of glamorous and celebrity guests, from Terry Pheto to David Tlale. Louise Carver, Laurie Levine and DJ Kimmy K had the guests entertained and tapping their feet at all times.
The clothes included treasures from the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Alexander McQueen and the best local designers such as David Tlale, Suzaan Heyns, Row-G and Erre.
