BONGIWE WALAZA

Bongiwe Walaza has her finger firmly on the African fashion pulse she aims to lead into a new era. Her designs are distinguished by her insatiable love of isishweshwe, a popular wax-print fabric that has been used for generations. Bongiwe’s Xhosa roots are evident in her choice of distinct finishes, traditional lines and bold stitching. She is widely recognised for her beautiful bridal creations that oftentimes include handmade elaborate head wraps, sensual shawls and corsetry. t: 011 4539823 e: bongs@walaza.com w: www.walaza.com 89 7th Avenue, Parktown North
