A Statement Maker
Malondié made a grand entrance onto the fashion scene with a debut show at Cape Town Fashion Week, earning a well-deserved standing ovation. The collection was a masterclass in blending drama with sophistication. Voluminous sleeves, sharply drawn-in waistlines, and cascading hems took centre stage, captivating the audience. The colour scheme, featuring hot pink, silver, black, white, and brown, was nothing short of breath-taking, accentuated by a logomania-esque use of the designer's signature as a motif.
Dedicated to the Customer Base
Londeka Buthelezi-Ndaba's design philosophy revolves around her customer base, those who aspire to be seen wearing and representing the brand's luxury footprint. Her pieces reflect this dedication and continue to inspire her loyal clientele. Notable creations from her debut collection include a hot-pink gown with grand, braided sleeves and an asymmetrical cascading hemline, as well as a silver, leg-of-mutton-sleeved two-piece with the name Malondié elegantly framing the wearer's waist.
