It is that time of the year when fashion takes centre stage once again. The menswear Paris Fashion Week has officially kicked off and A-list celebrities have been making an appearance.
Among them is South African sensation Shimza, a renowned DJ and producer known for his contributions to the Afro-tech music scene, who was spotted in the front row attending the 424 by Guillermo Andrade Spring/Summer 2026 runway show.
Andrade's innovative fashion brand brought high-fashion to life in a show-stopping collaboration with Porsche, where sleek cars met cutting-edge couture in a visually stunning show.
As seen on Shimza's Instagram post that features a series of pictures and videos of the event, the show opened with a parade of vintage Porsches cruising through Monnaie de Paris, where models strutted among a collection of luxurious vintage sports cars on the runway, all dressed in 424's collection.

What makes Kagiso Rabada great? The most obvious question finally gets a straight answer
Kagiso Rabada celebrates one of his nine wickets in the World Test Championship final at Lord's. Image: BackpagePix There aren't many questions that stump Proteas speedster Kagiso Rabada. He normally answers the media's enquiries with confidence and in his own laidback manner. But, during the World Test Championship final at Lord's, he took a couple of seconds to answer a question that had first come out on social media. It seemed innocuous at the time when the journalist posed the question, but it did make him think. 'A lot has made me stand out in recent times!' he joked, referring to the one-month ban he served after testing positive for cocaine. He then said: 'My attributes … pace, bounce, movement and doing that consistently." Star Australian batsman Steve Smith had the same response when he was quizzed about Rabada after the first day's play at Lord's when the South African fast bowler took five wickets on the first day of the WTC final.

'He's relentless, he's always at you, he's always up for the challenge, he charges in all day. His record speaks for itself, and he showed that again today.' On Monday, during a staff engagement meeting at Red Bull on a rather wet, cold and windy day in Cape Town, the same question was posed to Rabada, who went past the great Allan Donald in the all-time Proteas wicket-taking list during that WTC final win. He was asked if he had 'stewed over the question a bit more' following their triumphant return from Lord's. This time, however, his answer wasn't of a technical nature. It wasn't about his ability to nip the ball both ways with a wobble seam or deadly accurate bouncer. It was about a trait that makes the rise above the good. 'I guess it's about willing to sacrifice everything to get the result that you want. It's just determination,' Rabada said with a little smirk, as the room became all warm and fuzzy.
