The South African Style Awards commemorates its 26th instalment this year honouring individuals across various industries, who have not only made an indelible mark on local soil, but who have become powerful vehicles for change globally too.
People are changing the way that they think and as an industry stalwart, The South African Style Awards has continuously evolved, partnering with Plascon SA & The Mall of Africa as well as other esteemed sponsors, to whom we are grateful – Skin Renewal Aesthetics Clinics, Standard Beauty, Gillian Julius Jewellery, Niven Sher (The Diamond Guy) @Sandton Hotel, House of BNG, Iconic wine maker Anthony Hamilton-Russel’s Southern Right wine, flamboyant Nicky van De Walt’s Mirabelle Rosé and Los Locos tequila.
Plascon SA and The Mall Of Africa are brands that are for people who want more and for the individual who expects more, we couldn’t think of a better collaboration.
According to Leslie Frank Plascon South Africa’s Manager in Business Development & Insights: “The Plascon brand philosophy of making a lasting and ever-positive impact on people’s lives, shares many of the same attributes with the SA Style Award winners. Innovators and changemakers – they inspire simply because they are unapologetically authentic.”
