Here are a few of our favourite looks from the ramp on day 3:.
**KLûK CGDT**.
Silhouettes were fluid and floaty while being structured at the same time. The colour palette was simple and sophistication turned up a notch with the use of accessories..
**Scalo**.
Scalo embraces upcycling, a trend that gained popularity during the height of the pandemic and is now here to stay. A quilted coat made from recycled materials and a dress adorned with recycled bottle tops were showstoppers on the runway..
**MaXhosa**.
Xhosa beadwork details topped off the collection that was as vibrant as the rainbow nation itself. The garments flowed from one to the other with some pieces made for royalty..
**Thebe Magugu**.
The designer is known for minimalism and simplicity that makes a statement. The collection was simple, elegant and clean with pops of colour, frills and lace to add some romantic elements..
**Lukhanyo Mdingi**.
The collection took inspiration from nature. There was a sense of warm and calmness that came from the neutral colours that were used. Capes and long flowing dresses gave a bohemian feel to the collection while pencil skirts added a more formal touch..

American fashion designer, Lela Rose, made a special guest appearance at SAFW. She brought with her the glamour of old Hollywood and femininity with a modern twist..
