at Boschendal Villa - 17th September 2021


With the serene mountains of Franschhoek providing a charming backdrop for the exquisite collection of creatively designed garments by David Tlale. Partnering with Boschendal Wine Estate to celebrate 40 years of Cap Classique, it was a well organised experience from start to finish, as guests were chauffeured to the Boschendal Villa in Mercedes Benz cars.

The collection titled I’M M’I (GRAY) TION reflects the growth of the brand as it expands globally,

which highlighted warm colours and flowing materials, leaving the audience stunned.

A momentous day filled with bottomless bubbles saw fashion industry legends travel from across the continent to join this celebration that recognised the greatness of South African craftsmanship.


"The new collection reflects the beauty and diversity of Africa. You will experience it with the bold, colorful textures that echo’s the rawness of the mother land. The collection has beautiful imprints that brings together the work of Mandla Vunyaza the artist and David Tlale’s stance on the South African culture representation, influenced by the world music sounds and themes of Latin and soul, indigenous African traditions cultivated by dance, festivals, and elaborate adornments. corner stores and local green markets immerse in bold typography and ancient primary color watches." - davidtlale.com
