They are among 34 chosen designers from around the world. As a way of telling the story of how the brand has evolved since its inception they have called this line the “METAMORPHOSIS”.

“We dug deep within ourselves to try and lay it all bare for the audience to see,” says George Malelu, co-designer at Quiteria & George. “This line sums up the five years since Quiteria & George was created. As the business evolves, it also matures and morphs into something bigger than just the two of us. We are excepting this change, owning it and sharing our creativity with Africa and the world.”

The inspiration is also shared with the award-winning Méthod Cap Classique, Desiderius Pongrácz 2011 and its own metamorphosis over a five-year creation period. It’s made in the traditional French method of secondary fermentation in the bottle and it takes a mesmerising five years to create the beautiful, light and elegant bubbles.

The creators of The Imposters, Ferguson Films, approached Seriti Films to produce the follow up season of the hit series by adding their own flavour and twist to the new storyline.

“The idea was that the series has a premise that can continue for as long as each season has different creative minds to it. We wanted to encourage producers in the industry to work together to build an even greater TV and film landscape. Mzansi Magic fully endorsed this direction as it was in line with their new story telling anthology concept,” says Shona Ferguson.

Ferguson Films paved the way with the first season which became one of the best performing dramas on Mzansi Magic hands over the batten to Seriti Films to up the stakes and produce yet another successful season.

“As Mzansi Magic, we decided to explore a strategy by introducing a novel storytelling technique with our dramas and telenovelas – the anthology concept (rolling out a series of stories under one title). In this case, The Imposter will be the first show to carry this concept; where we will be alternating top production companies to come up with the new story, new cast but keep the same premise. By keeping the premise of the show allows us to refresh the narrative by introducing a new perspective each season”, explains Reneilwe Sema, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net.
