SAFW - Suzaan Heyns

Ok so here's the last edit from me for SAFW and Suzaan Heyns was a good choice to end the show. I particularly liked the men's looks, that echoed through to the women's garments all fastened together with long looped belts. You can really tell that Suzaan is a winter gal! I would love one of your men's coats please.

SAFW - Tiaan Nagel

Tiaan's collection was really beautiful! He really payed attention to details with the lines well executed and he really considered his choice of fabrics. I especially liked his shirts with the extended cape at the back of the garment as well as the delicate feathered black dresses folding and unfolding. Tiaan managed to create a  collection with great romantic movement with a really hard sharp quality.

SAFW - Joel Janse van Vuuren

I'm completely in love with my flower crown thanks Joel!

SAFW - Black Coffee

I am so pleased I went to see Black Coffee's show unlike most fashion folk this season, you really all missed out! As I have been doing for every selected show I have and will be going to for IFASHION and POST I have edited what I think is a really beautiful short film of the performance you missed out on.

The performance was drawing out the emotions and influences evoked through Black Coffee's collection this season. The audience was then brought through to Black Coffee's showroom where you could see, tough and try on the collection.

I will credit everyone who was involved once I know.

SAFW - ELLE New Talent Awards

Overal I was impressed to see Elle new talent finalists raising the bar a lot higher this year so well done to all of you but there was one firm winner for me that didn't get the winning prize but completly stole the show. It was obvious enough to put him last but to brave to give him the prize. Imagine if he went first, everything else after would of lacked intensity. A little drum role and a round of appalause for Kutloano Molokomme.

On the other hand Kelly Esterhuyse was the Winner and I know I've stolen her thunder a little but her knits were really amazing and thats why the judges had such a hard choice on picking a winner, definetly my next choice! Using different elements and processes in the making of merino wool Esterhuyse alined these crafted textiles in a very instinctive human skeleton form. A modern day twist on Repunsel.

Have a look at the video I put together for Ifashion and cast your own opinon.

SAFW (South African Fashion Week) Video diaries

Its going to be a big job but I have set myself the challenge of filming the following shows at SAFW to then edit and post them the next day for POST and IFASHION! so now you can see what goes on behind the scenes as well as getting a true feel for the collections.
I have circled and doodled over my timetable for SAFW outlining what I'm going to be covering.
See you there!
