DJ, Influencer, and reality TV star, Eva Modika touches down at King Shaka International Airport, straight from a DJing gig in Ethiopia where she was booked for two days at Addis Ababa. She lands for the Hollywoodbets Durban July, dressed by Themba Shadrack Tshabalala of Lera V Design.
Draped in a classic shimmer set, graciously following the theme ‘Ride The Wave’. Eva’s look is inspired by the warmth, stillness, and vibrancy of the Indian Ocean in Durban. “I love working with new designers, and Lera V Design had just left working for Otiz Seflo to start his own brand. I wanted to support him, and he did not fail. He heard the vision and executed it along with the theme. The mandate was to ride the wave, fun, shimmer, classy, and not trying too hard.”
Crafted with patience, and attention to detail, Lera V Design says he wanted something less “serious” and to play on Eva’s classy yet fun and fluid personality. “I wanted to enhance her silhouette. She has a stunning body, snatched waist, and a classic woman’s figure which was easy to work with,” Tshabalala says. “This year, we did not want to go for the typical ball gown but something clean, fun, and edgy yet encapsulate theme.”
