FinalistsWe’ve just selected the eight finalists in our 2011 ELLE New Talent Designer Search competition with Mr Price. We asked everyone who entered to ‘show us their pattern’ and did they ever! The entries were very exciting. For a look at the finalists’ work, turn to page 106 of our September issue.

But here’s the fun part… (drum roll) You get to vote for your favourite finalist and maybe attend their show at SA FAshon week!

Five ELLE readers will win two tickets each to the ELLE New Talent Designer show at SA Fashion Week in Jo’burg on 22 September. All you have to do is vote for your favourite finalist before or on 7 September.

TO ENTER: SMS ‘ELLE’ followed by the first name of your favourite finalist, e.g. ELLEKHUMO, to 40880. SMSs cost R1.50 each. (Sorry, there are no online entries for this one.)

Here are, in their own words, what we can expect from each of the finalists’ shows at SA Fashion Week. The winning designer will be announced at the show.

1. Kutloano Molokomme: Blood, sweat and tantrums!

2. Lameez Claasen: The perfect combination of “the gentlewoman” where femininity meets androgyny.

3. Charl JVR: Sophistication and structural integrity married with textured vivid colours and softened by silk chiffons and suiting. Expression through silhouettes and shapes with prints challenging one’s understanding of composition. A story formulated by the patterns of each garment, symbolising the pattern of life.

4. Anneke Koster: Let’s just say a print that is part of the pattern of my life, shapes that are strong as well as feminine, clinical perfection and individual pieces that would make any fashion crazy girl’s mouth water.

5. Danielle Hartman: I’ve drawn inspiration from many things but mostly from a combination of stories from our past. I’ve been playful with my fabrics, using textures and being thoughtful in prints. It’s my Tribute to a Heroine (the name of Danielle’s collection).

6. Samantha Constable: A play between structure and flow, fit vs volume and light vs dark with some interesting detailing and a few surprises.

7. Kelly Esterhuyse: A fresh, bold approach to a previously overlooked medium and technique.

8. Khumo Manota: Glamour… lots and lots of glamour.
