Hip Hop's Afro Diva collection, which gives an ethnic tweak to their always clever designs (what did you start, Stoned Cherrie?) not to mention their new black Artwood range for the more gorgeously mature of us - up to size 44, girls.
Habits' move towards couture, with a gorgeous floaty selection of flowered chiffons, frills and sexiness. And a divine pair of white trousers with pin tucks down the outside legs.
A three-piece black wool suit (pants, jacket and waistcoat) by Malcolm Klik, possibly my favourite outfit of the week (though his other stuff was a tad colourless);
A knockout grass-green evening dress by Christiaan Gabriel du Toit (who looks about 15);
Sun Goddess's stunning collection with its brilliant colour combos, like dark chocolate and light blue;
The lovely designer perfume launched by Jenni Button, which smells divine and comes in a bottle that could double as a paperweight or self-defence weapon;
Grand piano sessions in the press room from, among others, buchu oil farmer Andrew Chicken (yes, really); and
The huge overtime payments that bikini-waxers must have earned working on models for Rajah and Gretha Scholz's Poison Ivy swimwear range and the Cosmo knickers collection.
