The South African Style Awards

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

The South African Style Awards 2019 commemorates its 23rd instalment with a celebration of achievement and a springboard for fresh, young talent; honouring individuals across various industries who have not only made an indelible mark on local soil, but who have become powerful vehicles for change on the international stage too.

Sandton City does not only house coveted local and international brands, but is also home to one of the most revered events on the South African calendar. The South African Style Awards 2019 are  by invitation only; and will be hosted in the luxurious Diamond Walk on Sunday 17th  November 2019.

From young South Africans forging their African footprint, to those giving the African aesthetic an international platform; from iconic creative minds using their passion to share their culture, to some of the country’s most esteemed entrepreneurs, who are changing the business landscape across major South African markets; The South African Style Awards are a stylish showcase of innovation, creation and business that continue to elevate the echelon for excellence.

This year, the South African Style Awards is proud to present a brand-new category: Most Stylish Changemakers.

A platform which springboards and celebrates careers, The South African Style Awards are renowned for inclusivity, with categories such as The Next Big Thing, which highlights up and coming individuals; as well as Most Stylish SA Icon, which pays tribute to the contribution of an iconic individual across their illustrious career.

From Most Innovative Style to Most Stylish Business Person, from Most Stylish Media Personality to Most Stylish Model; from the Most Stylish Performing Artist in Film or TV to the Most Stylish Performing Artist in Music, from the Most Stylish Designer  -­ Interior or Fashion to the Most Stylish Couple; from The Next  Big Thing to the Most Stylish SA Icon, the prestige of The South African Style Awards 2019 pays tribute to South Africans who continue to shape their industries with their careers.
