The Betway Summer Cup, Johannesburg's premier horse racing and fashion event, returns to Turffontein racetrack in Johannesburg this weekend. The theme, "Silk in the City", invites attendees to channel elegance, fluidity and urban sophistication. As a highlight of the social calendar, the event offers fashion enthusiasts a chance to showcase their creativity, while embracing one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world.
It's all about making a statement with silk
"Silk is an amazing material, and people can easily get it wrong," said Themba Dlamini, stylist and founder of the South African Fashion Circle.
"Fashion is supposed to be fun. Play with colours. This should be easy because Africans are big on prints. Designers like Imprint, MaXhosa and Ezokhetho do prints beautifully. Be bold."
Dlamini also emphasised comfort: "The one thing we always encourage is the importance of being comfortable. You must carry the clothes and not let them carry you."
