Red Carpet Fashion Show celebrates empowerment of women

13 Feb 2012

The Camps Bay, Cape Town, strip was recently host to this year's Red Carpet Fashion Show, which celebrated the empowerment of women and during which a R16 000 cheque was donated to Dermalogica's joinFITE initiative.

Celebrity guests Elana Afrika and Katlego Maboe took to the stage, introducing SA's leading fashion giants KLuK, Port, Stefania Morland, Jagadi and a fresh new designer on the scene, Joanna Hedley, with BeachCult.

The Heat magazine glam fashion event celebrated the empowerment of women through Dermalogica's joinFITE initiative. Red Carpet Concepts handed over a cheque of R16 000 to the foundation. "All the hard work pays off in the end when you're able to look back at what you've achieved and feel proud. We couldn't have chosen a better initiative to back," said Red Carpet Concepts MD and Red Carpet Fashion Show event organiser Jade Allen.
