Idols West Africa
Channel 37 is back on DSTV- it’s the Idols channel of course and if you’re a reality TV junkie then you would have already watched hours of the Idols West Africa auditions! The competition started on Sunday February 18, and will end on May 27. The channel will offer about 16 hours of content daily, starting at 08:00 CAT and ending at midnight. Represent will be keeping an eye on the drama that is sure to come with the Idols competition entrants and the fascinating judges Dede Mabiaku, Abrewa Nana and Dan Foster- this trio is more entertaining than the contestants themselves at times. Some of the highlights include the first performer a guy called David who broke down in front of the judges when he was told he would not be moving onto Planet One (the next stage of the competition) and a guy who swore at the judges when he was failed.

Fashion Week: Dazzling Gavin Rajah
The Audi Joburg Fashion Week launching South Africa’s first Autumn/Winter fashion week, was a great success and who better to close off the event than the man himself, Gavin Rajah. After successfully showing his range at the Paris Fashion Week last month, Gavin Rajah brought the collection back to the origin, Africa! And as his reputation precedes him, he did nothing less than dazzle the audience. Using luxurious silks and lace the Gavin Rajah collection is comprised of colourful eclectic/ oriental flowing gowns that seem to wrap themselves effortlessly on a woman’s body. His use of hosiery added a tantalizing twist to all the outfits Not only is Gavin Rajah a talented designer (fashion and jewelry) but he is an extremely active philanthropist.

Fashion Week: Paul van Zyl
I’m guessing that Paul van Zyl’s gowns are what millions of women (those who picture themselves in wedding dresses), dream about when they think about their ‘big day’. I guess what I’m saying is that I was finally tempted to picture myself in a wedding dress and it’s all because of Paul van Zyl- when those models came out in those gorgeous white pieces, I had the girly “oh how beautiful” thought. He tied in a very important HIV/ AIDS and crime theme. A cape with a huge AIDS ribbon made up of little badges positioned the back of it made a very unsubtle statement about HIV/ AIDS. Just the amount of time it took to put the garment together is a contribution to positive messages about the disease. (It must have taken hours) Paul van Zyl’s wedding gowns and evening wear truly leave one gawking! Click here to see photos from the show.

Fashion week: Colour coded by Darkie
Darkie’s youthful and innovative collection of denims, T-Shirts, women’s shirts, dresses and jackets is really funky and totally edgy. Zips and funky stylish detail added the extra zing that made this collection much more than wearable clothing. The dynamic collection gives off that ‘taking it easy’ feel. Darkie models pushed the bar by wearing goggles and the signature Darkie afro comb in their hair. The range was a complete extension of the Darkie philosophy of celebrating and enjoying being Darkies. Click here to see photos from the show.
