His over-the-top gowns have featured in countless runway shows, graced covers of glossy magazines and been worn for sky-high billboard photo shoots.

But living in Funani’s shadow ends this fortnight when celebrity stylist J’adore (Niza Jay Ncoyini) waltzes into House Of Zwide and makes Laz a suspicious yet tempting offer that’s simply too good to be true…
