After unveiling their newest collection designed to infuse relaxation, sophistication, and elegance into the fashion landscape at South African Fashion Week Spring Summer 2024, Rubicon has sparked considerable excitement within the fashion world.
Celebrating South African glamour, Rubicon’s classic capsule collection delivered sophistication and flair at this seasons showcase.
Rubicon’s founder and lead designer, Hangwani Nengovhela brought to life a collection that was both ethereal and practical. Inspired by the African safari landscape, Nengovhela drew inspiration from the brand’s past silhouettes, colours, and artform , adding elements of glamour from the brand two decades rich history.
Nengovhela is frequently asked to predict the new season’s trends and to that she smiles and shakes her head. “I don’t believe in trends, I believe in classics,” she says. ‘I believe that if there is to be a trend for the season it is “to make the ‘old’ new again while giving a modern twist to traditional silhouettes, fabrics, and style.”
My sister-in-law, Rayana Edwards, is the Founder and CEO of Sari For Change, a foundation that is dedicated to empowering unemployed women and promoting sustainability by upcycling gently worn saris into stunning, new and unique dresses. I own 4 unique recycled saris that have been made into wrap dresses by Sari for Change and I always get compliments whenever I wear them.
Hence, I was so excited to hear that Pick n Pay Clothing has partnered with the Sari for Change Foundation and together they have unveiled a limited and exclusive range of versatile wrap dresses which can be worn in three unique ways. The dresses are available in a kaleidoscope of beautiful colours, ensuring there’s something to complement every style preference.
Each dress is one-of-a-kind and embodies a story of renewal and uniqueness, as it is crafted from a single donated sari carrying its individual heritage. With only 200 dresses available, these exclusive pieces went on sale this week, at four Pick n Pay Clothing stores: Cavendish, Canal Walk, Sandton City and Gateway. Through the partnership, customers can buy one of these exclusive dresses for R369,99, which usually retails for over R1,000.
