TV/radio maven Bonang Matheba is taking over the ongoing New York Fashion Week (NYFW) like she has never done before.
Queen B has been exclusively invited by some big name designers to attend their shows in the fashion capital – New York City.
The Metro FM DJ will sit front row at each designer’s fashion show as a private guest.
In addition, Matheba will be dolled up in looks from each designer’s current collection; while being given VIP treatment, personal hair and make-up.
“Through my work with Top Billing, I've attended most international fashion weeks, never have I been a designer's personal guest as Bonang Matheba,” Matheba excitedly shared.
On Monday, 12 September, Matheba will kick off her NYFW take-over by sitting front row at a total of four shows – Irina Vitjaz, Leanne Marshall, Byron Lars and Anniesa Hasibuan.
On the second day of her tour, Tuesday 13 September, Matheba will again sit front row at John Paul Ataker. To complete her day she will be a VIP guest at Alice + Olivia as well as Chiara Boni La Petite Robe.
Furthermore, Matheba will attend an exclusive fashion cocktail reception hosted by famed fashion/beauty blogger Claire Sulmers and Beyonce’s stylist Ty Hunter.
“Yes there's a lot of personal investment into this and staying consistent, but this acknowledgement would not be possible without the public and media endorsement from South Africans and Africans,” Matheba said.
“The many accolades/awards have not gone to waste and the continual belief from South African and African designers has added great value. More than anything, I look forward to building relationships with international designers as I continue to concur the world through fashion."
Earlier this year Matheba reiterated why she is a fashion darling when she collaborated with internationally renowned stylist Law Roach – also known as Luxury Law – for her sartorial choices as host of the 2016 Metro FM Music Awards in Durban.
The end-result saw Matheba clad in six high-fashion creations by Charbel Karam, Nicolas Jebran and Yousef Al'Jasmi.
Roach’s current A-list Hollywood clientele includes pop princess Ariana Grande and fashion chameleon Zendaya.
“When I consciously sought the styling brand of Luxury Law, other than being a South African or African fashion ‘ambassador’, I had a personal mission and that was to be on the radar of US & global fashion authorities. That personal investment is now paying off,” Matheba pointed out.
