Fashion: David Tlale Defined by A Touch of Theatrics

David Tlale is one of those designers who leave you wondering just where will he go next. Defined as a brand for go-getters and jet-setters, wearing David Tlale is definitely not for the demure. With a flare for drama and theatrics, David Tlale’s eponymous line is a voyage into: yards of slinky fabrics, an explosion of frothy tulle and chiffon, ruffles and lace, exquisite detailing and gorgeous colour combinations.

Inviting you to expect the unexpected, David Tlale’s love of avant-garde and rococo elements can be seen in his own creative personal style; a style which has often landed him on South Africa’s best-dressed lists. The award-winning brand aims to defy conventions, relying on unpredictability to continually tease and tantalise its audience, essential ingredients that make it one of the most eagerly anticipated shows during the South African Fashion Week calendar.

In tune with his diverse clientele David Tlale launched the Green Collection in 2008, in celebration of voluptuous and curvaceous women. David Tlale has also been chosen as an ambassador for the Change-4-Ever campaign, which seeks ways towards alleviating poverty in Southern Africa.
