For the second year, a fusion of fashion and high tea is coming to Mount Nelson. From 8 to 12 November 2023, the iconic pink hotel will host CONFECTIONS X COLLECTIONS, a five-day celebration.
Exclusive salon-style fashion shows are fused with designer-inspired confectionery in a tribute to the elegance and craftsmanship of slow African fashion.
The all-star cast of designers includes Chu Suwannapha of Chulaap, Sindiso Khumalo, Bubu Ogisi of IAMISIGO, Adeju Thompson and Palesa Mokubung of Mantsho.
Each designer collaborates with Mount Nelson’s pastry chef, Vicky Gurovich, to create exciting confections that elevate the traditional Afternoon Tea experience.
Tickets are available for R995, marking an unforgettable opportunity to enjoy both high fashion and delectable treats in an exquisite setting.

In collaboration with Twyg, a magazine devoted to the intersection of fashion and sustainability, CxC is an embodiment of creativity, culture and cake.
As General Manager Tiago Moraes Sarmento states, ‘Championing Africa’s leading fashion designers is just one of the ways in which we’re doing this.’
As Mount Nelson gears up to celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2024, CxC sets the tone for a cultural extravaganza, featuring annual celebrations in the arts, design and fashion starting next year.
