Bulawayo’s fashion and lifestyle scene is set to light up this weekend as the second edition of the Piano Cuzzle takes centre stage at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre pavilion.
Dubbed the Orange Edition, the event will merge fashion, groove, and culture under one vibrant theme, with attendees expected to don predominantly orange outfits.
Organisers say the event, themed “Fashion Meets Groove”, is dedicated to celebrating local fashion, culture, and lifestyle in a dynamic and youthful atmosphere. The day’s festivities will begin at 2pm, kicking off with a fashion show featuring local designers and stylists.
“This Piano Cuzzle is the Orange Edition – Fashion meets Groove. We’re celebrating fashion and lifestyle in collaboration with local fashion brands and designers. Our main focus this time around is fashion. If you’re a fashion stylist, pull up and showcase.”
Following the fashion showcase, the event will transition into a high-energy music segment featuring 10 DJs, nine of whom are Bulawayo-based talents. The line-up includes eight male DJs and three emerging newcomers set to debut their skills on the decks. A guest DJ from Plumtree, who is a protégé of the renowned DJ Yugoe, will also make a special appearance.
The event follows the success of the debut Green Edition, which was a pilot initiative introduced last year in partnership with Jägermeister. Organisers revealed that the orange theme continues the collaboration with the premium brand but places a stronger emphasis on fashion expression and local talent.
In response to feedback from the first edition, the venue has been shifted from Mystique Gardens to the more central ZITF Pavilion to ease transport challenges for attendees.
“We changed the venue to accommodate our guests who had challenges with transportation last time. This time, we brought it closer to home at the ZITF Pavilion, a more aesthetic venue,” said the spokesperson.
As Piano Cuzzle continues to gain traction, its unique blend of themed fashion and music is proving to be a refreshing addition to Bulawayo’s lifestyle calendar.
