RISE NANDI by celebrity designers Quiteria & George  

To Honour The Queen Mother Of The Zulu Nation Through Fashion 

 
The brand is looking forward to hosting guests of media, celebrities and clients to this spectacular event. 

 RISE NANDI is open to the public and limited ticket sales are available on www.webtickets.co.za or at Pick 'n Pay supermarkets.  

Nandi Ndlovukazi kaBhebe, of eLangeni, Queen Mother of the Zulu Nation will be honored by South Africa’s couture fashion brand, Quiteria & George on 10 October 2015 at the exquisite Rand Club venue situated in the heart of Johannesburg.

Fashion designers, Quiteria Lebohang Kekana and George Malelu were recently invited to showcase at the renowned Kwa-Zulu Natal fashion show, Fashion by the Sea in Durban.  Quiteria & George always aim to tell a story though their designs to inspire, create change and to support the current fashion movements.  In their creative stance, they have managed to design couture garments of moving architectures, structured silhouette, graphic and intricate handwork elements on each of their unique designs for respective clients and A-List celebrities. 

For this particular showcase, locality became the core inspiration for the designers’ fashion show concept.   Kwa-Zulu Natal is a magnificent province that boasts of rich culture, heritage and history.  The music, dances and diverse energies led Quiteria & George to the Kingdom days of KZN.  

The days of King Shaka Zulu, an era that presented a well-respected and legendary warrior of the Zulu Nation.  RISE NANDI was then conceptualised, to honour the woman behind the legendary King and tell a story about the Queen Mother of the Zulu Nation through fashion and art in the modern day era.

It was unfortunate that the event, Fashion by the Sea 2015 got cancelled, leaving the designers with planned preparations in hand.  “Our Fashion by the Sea collection was comprised with 46 pieces, which on the runway were planned to bring the story of The Prowess of a woman who gave birth and brought up the most celebrated Zulu King.  With this amazing story to tell and the work that was already put in place, we felt the need to find other means and ways to bring life to The Rise Nandi Fashion Showcase by Quiteria & George,” says co-founder Quiteria Kekana.

The collection promises to embrace the elements of Nandi’s warrior nature, high esteem, royalty, respect and elegance.  

A-list Southern African celebrities and some of Quiteria & George ambassadors like Dineo Moeketsi, Jessica Nkosi, Jena Dover, Lizha James, Miss Kay, Thando Thabethe, Terry Pheto and Mampho Brescia will walk this spectacular runway at the magnificent venue with a dramatic history closely linked with development of the world’s greatest Gold Field with the emergence of modern South Africa, The Rand Club.

“It is not going to be just another fashion show, we are aiming to create an unforgettable ambiance and experience more than anything,” explains George Malelu co-founder of Quiteria & George.
