AFI Fashion Week JHB 2019 David Tlale Spring/Summer 2020

Legendary designer David Tlale paid homage to his biggest muse and late mother Joyce Tlale at AFI Fashion Week in Johannesburg with his SS20 collection titled “Joyce”.

The presentation began with fun and colourful pieces, drawing inspiration from his ‘Heritage Month’ collaboration with Tastic Rice, as well as the rich and vibrant cultures found in South Africa. He followed through with an all-black-piece collection with couture finishing that he refers to as a symbol of mourning and celebrating the life and influence his mother had.
