Swedish luxury car brand Volvo and champagne producer GH Mumm hosted a fashionable summer soiree at Pablo restaurant in Sandton this week.
The “modern pan-African theme” saw guests dressed in outfits from top to toe in some of Africa’s leading designers.
Rich Mnisi, who was honoured at the event, wore a cream pants suit with tassels. “I wanted my outfit to complement the black-on-black wrap of the customised Volvo XC40 I designed,” points out the award-winning designer.
Mnisi credits his love for the bush as his source of inspiration.
“Throughout my career I have often sought refuge in seclusion, and there is no better place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life than to retreat to nature to switch off, reboot, and be present in the now. In spaces and moments of stillness and peaceful reflection, I have often found clarity and inspiration – and an unlocking of the deepest wells of my creativity,” he comments.
His partnership with Volvo marked the start of a summer campaign by the brand called #HiddenGem.
