The show Fused Fashion and Hair in a Creative Collaboration featuring Motions, TRESemmé and leading South African designers such as Black CoffeeGideonGavin Rajah and Rubicon, who interpreted the Key Summer 2012 Fashion and Hair looks.

The Show was nothing short of exciting with opening speeches given by Dion Chang and the CEO of Unilevers.
