Mrs South Africa 2014 Traditional Outfit

When asked to make the traditional outfit for Charne for Mrs World 2014, I wanted to create a gown that represented all cultures within South Africa. So I thought, 'Who better represents this than the great man, Nelson Mandela, who made us all one?' This is our tribute to him.

This is the image that I decided to use.

Wishing Charne the best of luck at Mrs World 2014. We are one hundred percent behind you!
