High Fashion Lands in Johannesburg During French Week
Johannesburg hosted a Paris and American fashion showcase featuring Leslie Derber’s $250,000 haute couture collection. The unveiling at his new underground salon drew Juliette Greco and Micheline Presle for French Week, with models in midi and mini lengths, furs, and bold appliques. A rival white-owned ready-to-wear firm criticized midi lengths, arguing the midi flatters South African women less in the climate, while Derber notes the mini signals a shift in high fashion.
