Famous names at fashion cabaret


	[ Top ]

FAMOUS names like Anneline Kriel will take a nostalgic trip down memory lane at the revamped Nederburg Wine Auction which celebrates its 30th birthday this year.

A celebrity-studded, interactive fashion cabaret will be staged in Paarl on April 3 including celebs like Kriel and other former beauty queens as well as former supermodels Tanya Fourie and Josie Borain and celebrities including Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Joost van der Westhuizen and his wife Amore Vittone.

The fashion event and exhibition of fashion, décor and beauty will be repeated for the public on Sunday 4 April at Nederburg.

Tickets will be sold in aid of the South African Organ Donor Foundation at R350 each. Call 0800-226-611 for further details.

The event that plans to transform fashion into performance art has been conceived and choreographed by producer/director supremo Jan Malan, the man who launched the Face of Africa in the late 1990s and who has since gone on to work in New York and Europe.

Malan is planning what he terms a "fashion experience" in a surprise venue at Nederburg to entertain the strictly by-invitation-only guest list of local and international wine aficionados and high profile personalities attending the glittering post-harvest fixture on the wine and social calendar.

The cabaret will trace the 30 years of style and trends in South Africa from 1975, when Nederburg hosted the country's first wine auction to 2004, highlighting fashion as a social barometer.

He will feature cabaret artists, professional models, "real people", as well as celebrities and other well-known personalities linked with major events in South Africa over the past three decades. Designers will include fresh young names, established and veteran talent.

"Fashion becomes really exciting when it enters the realm of performance art," he says.

"Although the event will have a very strong contemporary component, it will also have a very strong nostalgic feel, as you would expect from a retrospective."

His innovative presentations have charmed audiences from the best-travelled fashionistas who have seen it all to those with a passing interest in couture and design.

Unieke kaasbelewenis by fees


	[ Top ]

'n WêRELD van kaasgenot wag op besoekers by die 2004 SA Kaasfees wat plaasvind oor die ekstra lang naweek van 24 tot 27 April.

Dit beloof 'n fynproewersfees van kaas, wyn, spys en pret by die historiese Bolandse plaas, Bien Donné.

Die SA Kaasfees is 'n hoogtepunt op die Kaapse kalender en volgens die organiseerder, Agri-Expo, gaan volgende jaar se feestelikheid nog meer opwinding bring. Die terrein is heruitgelê om feesgangers meer ruimte te bied vir 'n genotvolle kaaservaring.

'n Rykdom van kase in alle vorms en groottes in die lugverkoelde Kaas Emporium en die splinternuwe Kaasmark, beloof 'n ontploffing op die smaaksintuie.

Die Kaasmark is geskep om verdere interaksie met kaasmakers te bewerkstellig. Kaasfoendies kan daarna uitsien om hul aan die onlangs bekroonde 2004 SA kampioenkase en wenners van die Qualité gehaltemerk te verlustig.

Die nuwe Markplein sal familie en vriende lok om te ontspan in 'n ruim omgewing waar goeie geselskap en uitmuntende produkte wat kaas komplementeer, geniet kan word.

'n Nuwe trekpleister is die Kaaswerkwinkel, waar kaasgeesdriftiges die geleentheid het om die eeue-oue kaasmaakkuns te aanskou, kaaskategorieë asook hul gebruike te leer ken en geniet - selfs met 'n skeutjie brandewyn.

Die populêre Demonstrasiekombuis, Melkfabriek, Fynproewerslaan en Kinderspeelarea staan weer hul plek vol om tot die sukses van hierdie unieke geleentheid by te dra.

Die hekke is tussen 10:00 en 18:00 op Saterdag 24 April, Sondag 25 April en Maandag 26 April oop en van 10:00 tot 16:00 op Dinsdag 27 April.

Kaartjies vir die fees word beperk en is beskikbaar by Computicket, Paarl Toerisme en Franschhoek Toerisme teen 'n spesiale prys van R55 vanaf 1 Maart tot 23 April.

Vanaf 24 April sal kaartjies by die hekke, Computicket en toerismekantore verkoop word teen R70. 'n Spesiale aanbod van R35 vir senior burgers geld slegs op Maandag 26 April.

Navrae kan gerig word aan Agri-Expo by tel 975-4440/1/2/3 of e-pos cheese@agriexpo.co.za of besoek die webwerf www.cheesefestival.co.za
