More on the Elle New Talent show

By Aspasia Karras | 28 August 2008

Watch the video courtesy of Jason von Berg, which includes commentary from Elle editor Jackie Burger.
For my money, Anisa Mpungwe was a deserving winner. Where the other five contestant’s collections were all frills and ruffles and rouching, Anisa took a much more lateral, pared down interpretation of the “New Romance” theme and even ventured into sporty territory.

Let’s hope some of the stuff gets put into production at Mr Price.

After Elle New Talent those leaving the Sandton Convention Center were treated to a happening staged by performance artist Anthea Moys, who circled the street outside on horseback accompanied by a police escort.

According to Michael Smith’s profile of Moys for Artthrob, she shows “considerable interest in dismantling conventions of behaviour in public spaces, and also reveals an acute awareness of how humour and play can deflate the seriousness of politically-charged social space.”

It certainly made me laugh.
