The evening unfolded as a testament to LEO SZN’s commitment to fostering a thriving ecosystem within the South African fashion industry. Guests, treated to a specially curated menu by acclaimed chef Akido at his eponymous restaurant at The Leonardo, were then whisked away to witness the latest collections on the SA Fashion Week runway. This blend of culinary artistry, industry connection and the next generation of design underscored the holistic approach LEO SZN espouses for its clientele.
