The South African Style Awards 2024 powered by PLASCON South Africa

Over the 26 years that it has been in existence, the South African Style Awards has redefined the meaning of style, achievement and philanthropy in every sphere, including in business.

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and how you’d like to shape the world.”

On Tuesday 12 September, our panel of esteemed judges including genius fashion designer Gert Johan Coetzee, owner and founder of Grid worldwide Nathan Reddy, and the Iconic Sipho ‘Hotstix’ mabuse , gathered together at TANG in Sandton in search of the 2024 recipients of the highly sought after accolade.

Our judges are as important to us as are our winners and after much debate and at times rather heated discussion the selection was narrowed down to 14 illustrious creatives in business.

The dinner was hosted & sponsored by the flamboyant Nicky van der Walt owner and founder of Miramar Collection including, award–winning Asian luxury restaurants TANG Sandton and TANG Cape Town, and the soon-to-be sizzling travel location TANG Dubai in the UAE.

PLASCON With more than 130 years of experience in the paints and coating industry, Plascon has a proud history and legacy in Africa. It all began with humble beginnings in 1889 when a young Welshman, Herbert Evans arrived in the shanty mining town of Johannesburg with a cart, ladder, and paintbrushes. All those years ago he embraced the core values that Kansai Plascon still strives towards today – to design products that improve the lives of customers through constant innovation.

Evans re-invented the coatings industry by pioneering world-firsts in the paint industry, including the earliest “ready-mixed” coloured paints and revolutionary “best elastic carriage varnish”. It was this spirit of innovation and a total dedication to designing products that solve the needs of the coating for customers. Plascon has introduced many ground-breaking products, including the legendary Plascon Double Velvet which became famous for its luxurious velvet finish.
