The Best Looks From the 2020 Vodacom Durban July
Fashionista Melody Molale, wearing a designer mask by Quiteria Atelier, was one of the Judges for the #VDJ2020 Designer Mask Competition.
For the first time since 1897, the Durban July Handicap was contested behind closed doors on Saturday, 25 July 2020. As we all know, there is no VDJ without the glamourous fashion element, and COVID-19 didn’t stop fashionistas from SERVING.
The theme this year was “Butterflies”, reflecting on the social butterflies who are still managing to #StayConnected to their passion for fashion even during a national lockdown.
Vodacom challenged creatives to enter the mask design competition which was judged by a panel of leading VDJ influencers, including Rina Chunga of Ri.Ch Factory, drag queen Baba Ganoosh, celebrity makeup artists Nomsa Madida and Diva Cadach, fashionistas Melody Molale and Nolusindiso Mchunu, celebrity stylist Krayzi_k (Tshiamo Modisane) and actor Kay Sibiya.
The winner was Andries Du Preez. The tap dancer, model, and motivational speaker walked away a R10 000 cash prize. Second place was Bayanda Motunane, the founder of Royal Moosh, a ladies wear brand, while Boipelo Sefako came third place.
1st Place: Andries Du Preez in his master creation.
2nd Place: Bayanda Motunane, the founder of Royal Moosh.
3rd Place: Boipelo Sefako
