Last night, designer David Tlale made his SA Fashion Week (SAFW) comeback at the Johannesburg City Library with a collection aptly dubbed “Restoration”. Models weaved through the historic city building in refreshing colourways and classic DT silhouettes.

South African Fashion Week celebrated the next generation of fashion visionaries with its annual Student Competition — now in its 19th year. Partnering with 24 fashion colleges and universities nationwide, SAFW continues to spotlight fresh creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation at the start of young designers’ journeys.
This year’s brief challenged students to reimagine a 100% cotton size-34 shirt using techniques like dyeing, pleating, distressing, or embroidery — all while keeping sustainability front and center.
In collaboration with Hyde Park Corner, the 2025 Student Competition Exhibition brought together 17 exceptional finalists whose work captures the spirit and future of South African fashion.

Last night, fashion met legacy, creativity met culture, and Johannesburg gave us a runway experience to remember! ✨🇿🇦
We attended David Tlale’s RESTORATION fashion show at the Joburg City Library, presented as part of South African Fashion Week, and what an experience it was! From the atmosphere to the artistry on the runway, it was a reminder that fashion is so much more than what we wear — it’s storytelling, identity, craftsmanship and the courage to create something unforgettable.
Seeing one of South Africa’s most recognised designers return to the platform where his journey began, 20 years after winning the SAFW New Talent Search, made the moment even more special. A full-circle moment celebrating not only a remarkable career, but also the creativity and future of South African fashion. ✨
At The Vibe ZA, we love witnessing the moments where local talent, bold vision and African creativity take centre stage. Last night was a celebration of fashion with meaning, and we were here for every moment! 🖤🔥
South African fashion. Unforgettable stories. A legacy still unfolding.
