Mercedes Benz Johannesburg Fashion Week - Runway Report

This was rumored to have been the biggest Jo'burg fashion week thus far, I feel very bad for not having attended even one show. Here is a brief report on what SA designers think we should be rocking for winter.


1. Abigail Betz
Probably my most favorite collection from the fashion week. Very chic, very femine, with a touch of the 50s, Perfect! Somehow reminds me of the wardrobe from "The Help".

2. Kathrin Kidger

This collection reminds me of the fall season. When leaves are turning brown, grass is some weird but lovely green-brown color. This is autumn personified, lovely collection.

3. Fabiani

This is the Gucci-kinda fashion, the ultimate male fashion. The one that makes me weak on my knees. Men in very well-tailored suits are to die for!

4. David Tlale

This guy is honestly on some other level, he is SA fashion royalty. Look at his collection and accept it, don't argue. Sequens, check! Leather, check! A touch of fur, check! 

5. Siyethemba Ngwenya

I know a lot of people have not heard of Siyethemba but this is a force to be reckoned with where male fashion is concerned, WatchThisSpace.com!!

6. Hyde Park Collection

This was a mixed collection of various designers from Hyde Park Corner. Mostly just ready to wear fashion, lovely!
