South African Brand David Tlale Debuts SS’23 Collection At Paris Fashion Week
Multi-award-winning designer David Tlale proves, once again, why he’s one of the best international designers to come from Africa.
The brand debuted their Spring/Summer 23 collection dubbed “A movement of love” at the Tranoï menswear show in Palais de Tokyo during Paris Fashion Week this past weekend.
Tlale says that with this collection, he wanted to embrace diversity and fluidity.
“We’re saying men and women or anybody can wear the garments. In terms of colours, you can see ivory, white and orange, a touch of black and a bit of yellow- these all come from the psychology of clothing to say when you wear a bright colour, it tells you exactly how to behave, and you become a very happy person.
“Even when you’re wearing black. For me, black is my happy colour. The collection is fun and also trying to say we’re trying to re-embrace and re-solidify our brand and introduce it in Paris,” says the Vosloorus-born star.
Watching his show, it was beautiful to see him collaborate with young South African creatives. We spotted a young model, Thapelo Mofokeng, walking for him. Meanwhile, seasoned photographer and fashion expert Trevor Stuurman was behind the lens, capturing the hottest looks from the collection.
Tlale has showcased at New York Fashion Week before, and it was his first time showcasing at Paris Fashion Week.
