At day three of the Durban Fashion Fair which took place at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre, it was the menswear designers who ruled the runway.
Mnotho Ngema, one of the DFF emerging designers was the first to showcase an impressive menswear collection on Friday night, followed by Ande Gibixego who presented a sophisticated range in rich autumn colours such as brown, dark green and a little bit of tan, and gamboge.
