Last week Thursday, fashion and fine spirits shared the spotlight as Sash South Africa teamed up with Bisquit & Dubouché to present its latest collection, Phola Park Sunday Best. Held at Artistry Johannesburg, the evening was a sensory journey that brought together fashion, cinematic storytelling, intimate live music, and curated Bisquit & Dubouché cocktails.
Sash South Africa’s Phola Park Sunday Best collection, inspired by the Zulu word "Phola"—meaning to be calm, to heal—captures the essence of togetherness. Featuring looks, the collection takes its audience on a journey to a serene Sunday in Phola Park, where community members gather in their finest attire to celebrate unity and peace. This vision was brought to life with a 10-minute fashion film that merged cultural heritage with contemporary design.
Guests were welcomed with Bisquit & Dubouché cocktails that were created exclusively for the event, giving them each a unique Story to Sip as they mingled in the multisensory exhibition space:
Tranquil Sunset: A light and refreshing cocktail with a citrus twist, symbolising healing and tranquillity.
Sunday Picnic: A fruity and vibrant blend that captures the spirit of community and love.
Golden Hour Sparkle: A sparkling cocktail with hints of herbal notes, inspired by the warmth and relaxation of a park setting.
The evening continued with a live performance by renowned South African artist Toroh O Wano, followed by an intimate Q&A session discussing the collection’s inspiration hosted by Nandi Dlepu. As the night unfolded, DJ sets by Kaddy and Jimm and Tonic kept guests immersed in the energy.
Known for its mastery in creating exceptional cognac, Bisquit & Dubouché added its signature touch to the evening. The curated gallery setup mirrored the brand’s passion for artistry and heritage, where mannequins in Phola Park looks led guests through a visual journey. Lookbook images and Bisquit & Dubouché’s iconic Griffin logo adorned the venue, reinforcing the undeniable connection between fashion, art, and fine spirits.
The collaboration between Bisquit & Dubouché and Sash South Africa intertwined two worlds of incredible craftsmanship—once again proving that the finest stories are made to be sipped, savoured, and shared.
