‘Colour of magic’ leaves racegoers spellbound

Diva Design’s Brenda Quin even got punters on their feet when her model paraded a colourful flowing dress with attached cape on the track.

Quin created the alluring garb from pieces of material from every dress she had ever made.

“I wanted to do something different. Every dress that I have made was magical so a combination is how I interpreted magic‚” Quin said.

Mostert said the design had dazzled her.

“That colour‚ the makeup‚ the cape‚ the beautiful model…for me that is what fashion at the Vodacom Durban July is about‚” she said.

By noon the racegoers were “rolling in”.

“For punters‚ the athletes – that is the horse and jockey‚ the fashionistas and socialites‚ the Vodacom Durban July is the place to be. There is excitement from the very first race‚” Mostert said. – TimesLIVE
