In conjunction with its Fashion and Lifestyle Extravaganza Market, Wernhil Shopping Centre, a property of Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group subsidiary, Broll Namibia, staged a fashion show on September 24, 2022. The celebration of locally produced goods, artists, and entertainment put a particular emphasis on Wernhil’s fashion scene.
The Foschini Group, John Craig, Edgars, Optic Exclusive, Spec Savers, Legit, Shoe City, and Big Daddy were among the Wernhil clothing store tenants to participate in the extravaganza, which featured models from the Diamond International Modeling Agency as well as some of their very own shop assistants who also took modelling coaching classes from the agency. Sylvia Rusch, Head of Marketing and Public Relations (PR) at Broll Namibia, explains that the goal was to create a fashion show that was diverse in both styles and body types. No matter the shape, size or height, all bodies and personal styles are beautiful, and we wanted all our models to feel empowered on the runway. We also wanted to show shoppers the style possibilities they have to express themselves.”
