One of the standout showcases on the final day came from Hoss by Sass, designed by Sanele Thabethe. The collection drew attention for its mix of casual wear, formal garments and red carpet-ready looks.
Structured gowns, tailored silhouettes and contemporary eveningwear were presented alongside more relaxed and wearable pieces. Speaking to The Citizen, Thabethe said she enjoys experimenting with different concepts in her designs. “So with us, you get art, wearable art; you get fearless, you get defined and bold.

Honestly, we just cater for people who want to be fun and daring,” she said. “There’s no age limit, so to speak, because the age ranges from 17-year-olds. I make dresses for people like my mother, 40 to 50-year-olds.” Other highlights from the showcase included Finch by Kwanele Thusi, which presented an all-male collection featuring pink velvet garments, and Originally Kasified Clothing’s The Rebirth of Cool Phase Two, inspired by denim and township culture.
