Those in attendance to witness the fashion show were dressed to the nines, and some of the outfits worn by the audience gave those on the ramp a run for their money. A lot of effort and creativity had clearly been put up into the outfits. This is a reflection that Batswana are now stepping up into the fashion scene.Although there were not many people in attendance at the event, the show went on nonetheless. The night was dedicated to young and upcoming designers who impressed with their designs.The director of proceedings for the night was Botswana's representative at the recently ended Big Brother star game, Eve Maygilip. She looked immaculate, dressed in a mini black dress adorned with gold details. Upon opening the show and calling for the first act, the Ankara fabric dominated the ramp. As it stands, the Ankara has been making waves in the fashion scene internationally for quite sometime now.The show, which lasted about 45 minutes, was full of color and pomp. After an evening of watching models parading and strutting on the ramp, all those who had come to witness this inaugural show converged for an after-party.
