Ghanaian international model and former M-Net Face of Africa, Kate Tachie Menson, was among other top-rated models who took part in the exhibition of amazing African designs at the ongoing Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in South Africa.
Lots of beautiful African designs were displayed at different programmes as part of the fashion week presented by African Fashion International.
Kate was featured on AmazeAfrica, a unique fashion showcase, presented by Samsung for the fashion week, organized at the Pretoria City Hall.
The event brought together 14 leading fashion and accessory designers from across the African continent, who through collaboration, presented new design aesthetic in four exclusive looks that define a futuristic vision for Africa.
Kate was the first model to step on the runway to outdoor the collaborated designs by South Africa’s iconic designers, Marianne Fassler and Quamta.
Like other models for the evening, she did extremely well. However, their unique modelling prowess made the event a beautiful one as there were also amazing dresses to compliment the ceremony, which had a lot of patrons dressed in black.
Ghanaian designer, Nana Brenu and Ugandan designer Adele Dejak also displayed some unique styles. Other designers included Missiba and Laurence Airline, Taibo Bacar and Pichulik, Projecto Mental and Rift Valley leather designers.
Earlier, on Wednesday, another top African designer, Gavin Rajah paraded his spring/summer new collection dubbed ‘From Behind The Veil’.
He told journalists that, “the collection was inspired by the strength of female characters that have ruled from the behind the veil.”
His collection communicates a strong metaphor of modern women who assert their presence, their voice and style in a world in which they are often stifled.
At the fashion event on Wednesday afternoon, he dedicated the fashion show to Rajah Muse, his best friend and the sister he never had.
