The show hosted around 650 exhibitors with an estimated footfall that was set to reach over 85 000 and featured eight themed sections including Fashion & Beauty. Ultimately, the show was designed to be the ultimate one-stop destination for Christmas shoppers. I had the pleasure of attending the Wednesday show and was not disappointed. With “snow” carpeting the entrance to the building and Santa’s sleigh parked out front, I left with a keen sense that Christmas is coming!
And if, by chance, you were wondering what party dress and underneaths to wear for the holidays, then the Fashion & Beauty section provided some dressing up solutions. In fact, the catwalk show was the place to be, where the latest Autumn/Winter trends were flaunted.The live Christmas Catwalk show was sponsored by luxury car mogul Lexus and the show was as lux as the car that was on display next to the stage. Held under the theme Models of Diversity the event showcased the beauty and talent of models of differing ages, dress sizes, and ethnic backgrounds.
Names like Soboye, Dea (London) and Audre Nicole made their presence felt on the catwalk but the show stopper, by far, was the sensuous, heady and jaw-dropping collection by Sonata Lingerie.
Russian designer Sonata Rapalyte set the runway alight with an ultra-feminine collection of lace, satin and chiffons. Sexy sets as well as luxurious lace body suits in a soft palette were paraded down the runway, some with tantalising corseted backs fit for a front cover heroine.
Models dazzled the eyes in see through floral garland styled lace body garments that fitted and flattered every curve and left very little to the imagination. Sensational sets in pink, turquoise and gold and the richly coloured Elektra set in navy and fuchsia- with its semi-ribbon back sexy panties- injected sparks of colour into this very pleasing collection.
