A stylish ode to African design and self-expression — intimate conversations, fittings for custom looks, and a golden-hour fashion presentation that turns the house into a living runway. The night closes with a euphoric afterglow of music and movement.

12–3 PM

Fashion Salon

An intimate midday salon for designers, stylists, and editors. Conversations flow over shared plates and wine in a quiet section of the house. Topics around storytelling, sustainability, and the future of African style. Cool, low-lit, and conversational.

3–5 PM

Custom Fitting Appointments

Guests are invited to private fitting sessions with local designers and stylists to be measured and styled for one-of-a-kind looks. Pieces are designed or tailored for them to wear later in the week or at the closing event.

6–8 PM

Sunset Fashion Presentation × Local Designer Spotlight

As the sky turns gold, a South African designer presents a capsule collection in an immersive, movement-based presentation. Models and performers move through the space; music shifts with the light. Elegant, intimate, and deeply sensory — the essence of Cape Town style.

8 PM–12 AM

Fashion House After Party

The evening transitions into a high-energy celebration — DJs spin Afrohouse, R&B, and Amapiano as guests mingle in their custom looks. The space glows with candlelight, wine, and joy — the pinnacle of the Makena aesthetic.
