On Friday we shared the exciting news here that Jane Elizabeth Kotze is the ELLE Rising Star Design Award 2012 winner, plus we gave you the scoop of the finalists’ collections and what went down on the fashion front. Now, we’ve got the pics of what went on behind the scenes, who we spotted wearing what and, of course, the hip and happening afterparty! Take a peek:

How amazing is the ELLE Rising Star Design Award? ELLE’s art director Loretta de Goede commissioned design duo Jesse James to create a design that embodied what Rising Star is all about – fresh, young, South African talent!

As the official transport partner, Zebra Cabs offered our fabulous guests an easy and safe ride from Park Station to the Shine Studios and back – yes, for free!

Backstage at the ELLE Rising Star Design Awards:

M.A.C make-up artists worked their magic backstage on our models who looked amazing on the evening, with each look complimenting the designer’s collection. Jackie Burger is also a M.A.C fan and had her make-up done for the event.

We snuck backstage to see the Terenzo Hairdressing stylists busy with our models for the show. The team was on top of the beauty trends for this season, with sleek and slicked-back looks that complimented the designs.

And then there was the ELLE Rising Star afterparty – a chance for ELLE and Mr Price to celebrate our winner with our guests. Jo’burg’s best-dressed gathered at Shine Studios Glass Room to dance the night away to Kid Fonque’s super-cool tracks! There was plenty of stylish sipping, too, thanks to our amazing sponsors. Here’s what we enjoyed:

Sparkling from Krone, of course! What’s a celebration without sparkling?

The bar was well stocked and a hit with the crowd. We served Patrón, Stoli Vodka, Cutty Sark Whisky and Chambord.

The ELLE team were not shy of the dance floor and Appletiser and Bonaqua had the right stuff to quench our thirst!

Each guest walked away with a beautiful ELLE goodie bag with a copy of our October issue (out today) an ELLE notebook, a colourful neck-piece from Mr Price, Lindt chocolate and, if you were lucky enough to be one of our VIP guests, a bottle of Patrón Tequila, M.A.C products and a treat from Terenzo Hairdressing!
