This year, AFI promised that Joburg Fashion Week (JFW)will capture the essence of Johannesburg and I couldn't agree more; with venues like Joburg Art Gallery, The Bus Factory, Randclub and of course, Nelson Mandela Bridge I believe Jozi will be b-u-z-z-i-n-g with fashion.!

Here are some pictures from the JFW campaign and if pictures are anything to go by, I say this will be very exciting.!

This picture makes me fall in love with Jozi....over and over again.

I feel the essence of Jozi in this pic.*loves it*.!

I am extremely excited about this particular fashion week for a lot of reasons but my love for clothes, my love for Joburg city outshine all the other reasons. I am particularly looking forward to David Tlale's show on the 19th of February at the Nelson Mandela Bridge. It is said that there will be 92 models strutting their stuff on the bridge, each model representing a year in Nelson Mandela's Life...... GENIUS.!!

Other designers that I am looking forward to seeing are: Kluk CGDT, Lisp and Thula Sindi.
