The Last Stretch - Day 3

The range from designer Hangwani Nenghovela of Rubicon, hinted at gold shimmered fabrics and black satin. There was an underlying theme of evening wear and the sex appeal it wanes from women. Rubicon did just this. Long evening dresses and black feathers made the models look ever so sexy and ready for a night out.

For those who live in Joburg, you'd have noticed how dry it is here. Not an inch of rain - it's terrible. Yet with a name like Thunderstorm, I pretended that it had been raining for days on end, and suddenly, jozi didn't seem so bad afterall.

Thunderstorm too looked at knitted beanies and hoodies to make sure one would stay warm 'n comfy this winter.

Moments of tartan, and light blue stitching added to the cool attitude of the models.

I'm gonna be really corny here, but i couldn't resist:

The range was as cool but as bold as any old thunderstorm.

Wow... that was dry.

(even that unintentional pun!)

I'm gonna stop before I hurt myself....

Gert Johan Coetzee was the last designer of this show. And from what I read and saw, he is obsessed with making the female figure look absolutely breathtaking and beautiful.

From patterned tops, to short skirts and patterned cross-hatching folds, the range was versatile and dynamic. One must applaud him on his impeccable attention to detail and craftsmanship.
