Organised by Colourful People Entertainment, the event served as a vibrant platform for the youth to embrace and modernise traditional Setswana attire, with attendees showcasing a striking fusion of cultural pride and contemporary aesthetics. With the theme “leteisi on fleek”, guests were encouraged to reinterpret leteisi in ways that highlight creativity and personal style. From modern gowns to jumpsuits and tailored suits, the event was a testament to the versatility of the fabric and the growing trend of blending traditional and modern styles. "I wanted to embrace my heritage but with a modern twist," said Naledi, a 25-year-old attendee who wore a floor-length leteisi dress adorned with delicate beadwork.
"This event lets us celebrate our culture through fashion, but in a way that’s fresh and relevant to us young people," she noted. The scene at Bojanala Waterfront was filled with colour and flair, with attendees taking the opportunity to transform the space into a runway of sorts. Men turned heads with bold, fitted leteisi suits, while women sported dresses with creative cuts, layering techniques, and even accessories crafted from the fabric. “It’s great to see men embracing leteisi in stylish suits,” remarked Kabelo, a guest in a tailored two-piece suit. “We get to look sharp while showing off our heritage.” Beyond just fashion, the event created an atmosphere of celebration and unity. Attendees gathered for photos against the scenic backdrop of Bojanala Waterfront, capturing the night’s blend of culture, fashion, and camaraderie. Pop-up stalls dotted the venue, offering handcrafted accessories and cultural pieces to complement guests' outfits. “I bought a beaded necklace here to match my outfit,” shared Boitumelo, another attendee.
