We all know and love the brand Forever New! Want a sophisticated work outfit? Forever New. Want a gorgeous dress for a wedding? Forever New. Want an elegant playsuit for the Polo? Forever New.
Forever New is one of the fastest growing international brands in SA and I had the honour of attending the launch of its latest collection, #WildOrchid.
Celebrities, socialites and Forever New VIP customers attended the unveiling of the new Wild Orchid Collection. The colourful and energetic Wild Orchid collection was modelled in a unique fashion presentation by eleven of the country’s most illustrious female personalities. The aptly-titled Orchids included 5fm DJ, Sureshnie Rider; celebrity make-up artist, Gina Myers; socialite and journalist, Mokgadi Seabi; actress, Zakeeya Patel; TV producer and presenter, Lerato Kganyago; actress, Amanda du Pont; South African superbike champion, Janine Davies; publicist Melanie Ramjee; TV personality, Roxy Burger; blogger Allegro Dinkwanyane and actress Hayley Owen.
Early summer parties, tropical holidays and balmy nights set the scene for this spirited story, where vivid pinks and sunset coloured exotic flower prints are enhanced by clean white. Now, If you want these items, I’ve made it real easy for you. Just click on them and it’ll take you straight to them.
TV personality, Roxy Burger, wore this Andrea printed wrap skirt (R799) with a Briony Strappy Silk Cami in porcelain (R599). Accessorize your outfit with clean elegant strappy sandals, oversized tote bags or a pop of colour statement clutch – much like this.
The beautiful actress, Amanda du Pont, wore this Isobel Tiered Lace Dress in porcelain (R699). All white remains a key summer trend, worn head to toe or with brightly coloured accessories and these retro oversized sunglasses finish the fun summer vibe.
Actress, Hayley Owen, modeled the pretty Bethany Ruffle Skirt Dress in vibrant chartreuse (R1139.75). Make a glamourous summer fashion statement with this simple yet head turning dress.
Actress, Zakeeya Patel, wore the Simone sweetheart sundress (R999). This dress with it’s vibrant floral print can go from a day at the polo to dinner with the girls.
Celebrity make-up artist, Gina Myers, wore the Adrianna Burnout Stripe Midi Skirt (R799) with a matching cross-over crop top. While bright new look co-ords are perfect for day wear, black can work just as well too.
Forever New also announced its sponsorship of The EPIC Foundation’s Fairy Godmother Project at the event. Founded by Alta McMaster, the charity assists underprivileged girls in Matric who do not have the financial means to purchase Matric Dance dresses. Forever New initiated its sponsorship by donating a number of dresses to the Project, as well as all profits made at the event. The eleven Orchids also each contributed a number of personal items to the Project, including special occasion’s dresses, shoes, jewelry and handbags.
The Forever New Wild Orchid Collection is currently available in all Forever New stores and select Edgars stores nationwide.
Here’s what the Elite TV girls wore to the event;
Sheena D wore this sexy laced black tube dress from Young Designers Emporium and I wore a Gingham Skaterskirt from Mr Price with a Mesh V-neck bodysuit. Because I am in love with gold I just had to accessorize with a nude and gold clutch from Zoom.
Keep it Fashion Fab.
