Fashion Indaba

It was indeed yet another collaborition at the Design Indaba, This time between David west and Ida Elsje.Being a massive fan of David West, I was bound to love his A/W2011, the collection was a bit on the quirky side, which featured Maxi sihouettes, odd prints and top off with headpieces from Ida Elsje.

The design indaba took place at the CTICC last week,where South Africa's creative geniuses got to showcase what they all about to the lovers of design throughout the country. Two of such creative genius are Cindy Poole of the Summit (see previous posts) and one of my favorite South African designer Adriaan Kuipers. The two worked in conjunction with each other to bring classic looks that made me fall in love with leather.

Presenting normaluisa, okay you caught me, I had no idea who that was until 25th of Feb during Milan fashion week where their 2011 fall/winter collection was showcased and an amazing collection it was.

Awesome find.

I was very unfortunate not to attend the Design Indaba this year due to major school work, anyway as I was doing my bit of research on what i missed at the expo, I came across the the summit- leather accessories for the urban gentleman about town.

I fell in love with the variety of belts they had on offer and I just had to share it with every one.What makes The Summit belt innovative is its synthesis of style with enhanced functionality, Simplicity and elegance blend effortlessly with a ‘hidden’ buckle mechanism that are integral to its unique take on the belt. With prices ranging from 440ZAR to 530ZAR you will be spoiled for choice.

For more info on the summit and other variety of good on offer, click here and shop away.

Still in Oscar mode, my look of the day goes to one of my favorite singer Florence Welch, the lead singer from Florence and the machine who looked stunning in warm nude palette from Valentino.

Oscars (Red carpet moments)

2011-02-28T11:07:00.000-08:00

For those who didn't get to see the Oscars, here is a sneak preview of who was wearing what on the red capert (read: my personal favourites).

Soft,lacy and nude palette with a dash of crystal encrust seemed to be the biggest trend of the night.

Suzaan Heyns A/W2011

2011-02-26T08:04:00.000-08:00

I can not believe that i did not blog on Suzaan Heyns's show at the the JFW, well it might be late, but to those who did not get a review yet here is a snippet of the show.

A rather dramatic opening it was,however will not go in to details, the collection was inspired by the human form and it's anatomy with very fine details, from stitching to the layering .Both female and menswear were featured warm colour palettes.

Here are some of my favs.

David Tlale's A/W2011

2011-02-21T10:51:00.000-08:00

There has been lot of anticipation and hype around David Tlale's show.The show gave a somewhat dramatic close to the Joburg fashion week at the Nelson Mandela Bridge, some called it the grand night of bliss.

the collection featured 92 garments, which featured hats, body-suites, chiffon flowing dresses with rather safe colours with most being red,black and white. each of the garments was said to be celebrating a day in the life of Utata Nelson Mandela. I watched as the unfolded on twitter, (where some got really aggressive, because yet again the show was somewhat odd two hours late, i watched with amazement as everyone's tweets drew down to " it better be worth the wait". the question is was it? i certainly think not,i feel the collection was rather safe and NOTHING was extraordinary but here are some of my favorites.

Oh! Where the garmets really 92?

STIAAN LOUW '6'

2011-02-21T09:58:00.000-08:00

I have been waiting with excitement and anticipation for of Stiaan Louw's new collection 6. on the 18 of February " 6" made it's debut at the JFW2011 and yes the collection has certainly lived up it's reputation from it's inception.

The collection draws inspiration from Masai, Middle Eastern, Indian and ancient Greek elements to create garments reminiscent of the Mesopotamian ideal and bridges the gap between the Afro and Euro-centric fashion void, the somewhat feminine collection displays range of flowy* fabrics in subtle/neutral colours from nude to purple with a dash of bright coloured accesories.

After a display of this breath taking collection Stiaan Louw is certainly my number on means-wear designer.

Joburg Fashion Week

2011-02-21T08:50:00.000-08:00

It has certainly been days since my last post and I would like to apologize to all my readers and followers, I was caught up in the mist of the festive season and the new academic year and didn't have time for new posts, however all that has past now and I'm all geared up and ready for action.

The Joburg Fashion Week has been latest news on the South African fashion calender, the prestigous event took place between the 15-19 of february in jozi, where South african design heavyweights diplayed their Autumn/winter 2011 range.

Join me as i look back at some of your favorite show from the JFW2011 in week to come.

I have long been a fan of Italian Vogue from july 2008 all black issue, it seems they have done it yet again. The February 2011 issue of Italian Vogues all-black editorial, Shot by Emma Summerton and styled by Edward Enninful, the spread features some of today's top black models including Arlenis Sosa Pena, Chanel Iman, Georgie Baddiel, Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, Kinee Diouf, Lais Ribeiro, Melodie Monrose, Mia Aminata Niaria, Rose Cordero, Sessilee Lopez and Australian based Ajak Deng.

The 20's feel to the spread make it so alive, this is certainly a step foward for african models.

well done VOGUE ITALY.
