Malondié Cape Town Fashion Week Collection: A Sultry Take on Resort Wear

Londeka Buthelezi-Ndaba, the creative force behind Malondié, continues to elevate South African fashion with her latest collection unveiled at Cape Town Fashion Week: The Edit SS2, under the prestigious African Fashion International (AFI) platform. Known for showcasing Africa’s most exceptional design talent, AFI provided the perfect stage for Malondie’s sultry and sophisticated interpretation on resort wear.

The collection, which showcases a vibrant palette of greens and purples, embraces luxurious fabrics like satin organza, mesh, and slinky stretch materials. Malondié’s signature designer patterns add a touch of exclusivity, making each piece a wearable work of art. The designs included mesh cover-ups, slinky maxi dresses, and now featured pleated, flowy maxi skirts that created mesmerizing movement with every stride. Ruffled, puffy sleeves added dramatic flair, giving the collection both volume and a playful, feminine edge.

To complete the resort-inspired aesthetic, the collection introduced chic accessories such as headwraps and larger than life, wide-brimmed sun hats, perfect for effortless glamour in sunny locations. The collection is for the kind of woman who is not afraid to be bold and take up space, even on the side of the pool or on the beach front.
