The Best of South African Couture and Jewellery for Miss World 2008 Contestants
................................................................................................................................
Miss World 2008 is being held in South Africa this year. The event will take place on the 13th December 2008 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg................................................................................................
You can look forward to an exciting spin on the pageant that has lost its luster over the years, 30 South African fashion designers and 20 crafters producing over 580 garments and accessories will dress the 112 Miss World contestants. Participating designers include African Mosaique, Clive Rundle, Palesa Mokubung, David Tlale, Marianne Fassler, Fred Eboka, Gavin Rajah, Machere Pooe, Julian, Thula Sindi, amongst others. Designers will be exploring colour, texture and silhouettes in a way that will amaze and inspire, hopefully discarding the sequin Southern Belle gowns that have come to dominate over the years.

According to local fashion impresario Precious Moloi-Motsepe who is coordinating the fashion for 112 of the world's most beautiful women, this will present the local designers with "an unparalleled coup for the local industry". Julia Morley, the boss of the Miss World Organization added that the pageant will showcase the "best designers in the world" of whom little is known. Hataw Beauties

According to iFashion.co.za,
In order to ensure that both designers and crafters receive the maximum benefit from this relationship, the design and craft label will be identified on screen during the finale broadcast. Interested viewers will be directed towards an online e-commerce site – www.africanfashioninternational.com – to download details of the designers, and to order garments directly. This will result in direct commercial benefit to participating designers and crafters.
