A fashion Journey

Stefania Morland — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 10:11:07 +0000

After a very exciting and busy week in Johannesburg for Africa Fashion week, the Stefania Morland team is back on familiar ground making magic happen in the studio. We attended a fabulous media launch at Vilamore in Sandton on the Wednesday night, which was the official start to fashion week. Everyone was very excited and of course very chatty. Who wouldn’t be! It was fashion heaven, being able to see inspiring designers showing off their talents and creations I felt like a lucky fashionista star! The trunk show was open the whole week, it as held at a beautiful house, a big thank you to Linda Notelivitz for her incredible hospitality. Thursday was a hectic but glamorous day prepping and preparing for Stefania Morlands show that evening. We attended a few shows before the big show down of Stefania Morlands retro spective journey winter 2012 collection. Her and daughter Shana Morland’s range was a mixture of diverse cuts and styles, using a timeless and elegant colour palette of black and cream with touches of red and metallic. The fabrics and texture’s flared down the catwalk showing off French lace, ribbon roses, beading and embellishments. My personal favourites for the collection were the two beaded and lace bridesmaid’s dresses that epitomized exquisite beauty. The black and cream striped flirty skirt and the cream silk evening gown with a velvet halter and bow, which was worn by Ajuma a true African beauty from Kenya. The faux fur boleros and jacket that gave off a rich and stylish look and of course the beautiful wedding gown, that would make anyone feel like a princess. A true Stefania statement of her style. After the show Stefania and Shana were riddled with interviews, after a long day we headed back to the hotel and got ready for the trunk show the following day. South African designers have definitely taken a giant leap and are forever maintaining a specific style that catches the public’s attention. It was an absolute pleasure to be apart of this wonderful experience, and I’m so proud of the wonderful work Stefania and Shana are portraying, true inspiration!

GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK Eco-friendly embraces today’s lifestyle in fashion

Stefania Morland — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 10:33:36 +0000

The debut for eco fashion was in 2005 at New York Fashion week, so many designers had been playing around with the idea for ages mixing and matching organic fabrics and natural fibers, finally they had there “coming out” party at the exclusive renown New York fashion week, sporting some very creative hemp, bamboo and recycled polyester looks. This was in 2005;we have come along way and spread the green love across the globe. Designers are making great use of all these organic fabrics and incorporating them into there collections, 24 fashion brands and designers donating an eco friendly item from there fall 2011 collection with the funds going to ‘runway to green’, designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Manolo Blahnik, Alexander Wang and Burberry are working with the NRDC to help businesses become green. Eco also took centre stage at this years Milan fashion show with two platforms celebrating ethical design. Some more fresh energy for the environment is LA based Chipkos, a company that’s boasting about “the worlds most expensive flip flop” created with artist David Palmer, this particular flip flop is not the norm, hand painted 60’s ashram style sandal that features eco friendly gold and sells for $18,000. What’s so amazing about this invention is for each sale of the flip-flop will protect 100,000 square feet as part of their “stand for square feet campaign.

Going green allows you to form an imagination with your creations as a designer, either using beautiful natural fabrics or transforming rubbish into wearable art, what we like to call paper couture. A company called as right as rain, took natural to a whole new level by planting and harvesting shirts leaving the design to the unpredictability of nature, a wow to having a unique real natural T-shirt.

More people and especially designers are very aware and are doing some wonderful things in return for our planet saving plea.

It makes my heart happy that people are embracing the fact that toxins and pollutants are never in style.
