Elle Magazine readers were treated to more than the usual fashion spread when they attended the first in a series of official Elle Workshops held at the Hyde Park Shopping Mall in the upmarket suburb of Hyde Park, Johannesburg, on 19 June.

Setting the scene for an evening of glamour and pure indulgence, guests were greeted to the sight of the glamorous Leopard’s Leap mobile bar, which was set up in the centre court of the mall. Hosted by Elle editor, Jackie Burger, and fashion editor, Chris Viljoen, guests sipped on some of the label’s best offerings while enjoying an exclusive preview of the hottest Spring trends by local and international designers.

Elle Magazine wanted to share with its readers tips on shopping for those Spring must-haves, and the Winter classics to see them through the last couple of icy months. Guests were also guided through the art of reinventing their Winter wardrobes.

Sponsorship of the fashion workshop was a fitting partnership as Leopard’s Leap believes in celebration and innovation, in this case of the upcoming season and local fashion talents.
