“When we started discussing ideas around what I wanted my Designer of the World gown to be I knew that I wanted to incorporate one specific thing…’Buhle’. The Miss South Africa crown that I wore with so much pride and with an immense sense of responsibility knowing what the crown represented, not only to myself but also for so many young girls who see the crown for what it truly means. Passion, purpose, responsibility and service. I want this dress to represent our dreams and that they have so much value, not matter where you come from.”
“@warrickgautier made this vision come to life in the most beautiful way by hand beading this gown with the design found in the crown. Thank you Warrick for making this dream come true, I’m so proud to wear this garment proudly made in South Africa with so much love and dedication from you and your team of artisans,” Musida wrote in an Instagram post.
