Rustenburg Girls opens Rocking the Runway fashion show
When I asked one of my friends how she felt after modelling in the opening night of Rocking the Runway Fashion Show held on Fri, 12 Oct 2012 at Canal Walk, she responded rather enthusiastically:
“Like I was born to do this. I really wish I could do it again!”
….and then she smiled the biggest smile I had ever seen. The atmosphere backstage was much the same. Models were bursting with excitement when they got the chance to try on their outfits, sponsored by various clothing stores in Canal Walk.
Although this was the first time that Rustenburg took part in an event such as this, I think we gave the audience a fantastic night with our very own girls singing and dancing and providing the entertainment to the large crowd surrounding the entire perimeter of the show. The whole Rustenburg girls fashion show was planned, marketed and choreographed by Rustenburg girls as part of a life skills programme.
It is always sad when something that has caused such excitement and joy amongst friends and family comes to an end, especially an event as special as this. I don’t think that Rocking the Runway is an event that will easily be forgotten – girls are still commending one another in the school corridors and laughing at the funny moments of the evening.
Huge thanks to Planet Productions and Canal Walk for allowing us to be a part of this special occasion and to all the girls and teachers involved who made the night an unbelievable success because Rustenburg Girls most definitely Rocked that Runway!
