Destination Winter 2025 at Menlyn Park Mall: Your Ultimate Fashion Runway

Winter might be rolling in, but at Menlyn Park Mall, things are heating up in the most stylish way possible. Say hello to “Destination Winter” – the ultimate fashion-forward campaign turning the centre into a runway wonderland from 28 March to 1 June 2025. 

We had the absolute pleasure (and by that, we mean bottomless mimosas) of attending the launch, and let’s just say: it was giving glam, good vibes, and gorgeous coats. The ever-fabulous Mita Neshunzhi (aka The Digital Diva) was our hype queen for the day, while fashion royalty Tania Durand (Glamour’s Fashion Director) and Molife Kumona (GQ’s Editor-in-Chief) schooled us in the season’s must-know trends.

Trending This Season: Comfy, Chic, and Mocha Mousse

Winter 2025 is all about soft, snuggly fabrics, luxurious layering, and that irresistible shade – Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse. Think warm, rich tones that scream chic hot chocolate weather.

Here are a few golden nuggets from our style gurus Tania & Molife:

• Layer like a legend – and make sure each piece gets its moment.
• Pop it like it’s hot – a bright red lipstick can transform your whole vibe.
• Monochrome moods – go full tonal for a head-turning statement.
• Oversize meets streamline – pair chunky knits with sleek silhouettes.
• Street meets classic – hoodies under blazers? Yes please.
• Print-on-print – clash them creatively for extra dimension.
