Whoop whoop! Day
2 has arrived and today the line up is set to dazzle and bedazzle both male and
female audiences alike. Tonight’s showcasing is really going to be #ICONic with
even the legendary designer, Gavin Rajah, who also happens to be one of the
first designer’s to start Cape Town Fashion Week, 10 years ago, closing of the
night as the last show. Bringing the house down with partners such as Moët
& Chandon, Vogue Eyewear and even Lindt Chocolates.
Tonight I will
only have the pleasure of viewing Habits and Craig Port. So I’m super stoked. I
was unable to gain access to Leigh Schubert and Gavin Rajah. The response from
the Gavin Rajah tribe was the following:
“@GAVINRAJAH: @_RenaissanceMen
we are really sorry but absolutely no space left xxx”
I thought that
was cute. And honestly, yes, I’m a little depressed, but this too shall pass
like water under a bridge. I still have David Tlale on the cards and Habits,
with the young-at-heart Jenny Le Roux is sure to be delicious and I’m also very
amped for the Craig Port showing that includes a stellar performance by Ms Lindiwe
Suttle. So tonight is bound to be dope!
Thanks to the
incredibly informative ‘Designer Bible’ that was provided by the team of
Communications Services Africa (CSA), I have some details I can spare with you
on the designers, with regards to what they’ll be showing tonight. Is your
mouth watering already? I can barely sit still in my seat as I type this blog
post.
Here some
profiles on the designers showing tonight that I’ll be seeing.
Habits – By Jenny Le Roux
Brand Vision
“I would like
Habits to be acknowledged not just as a stand-alone store but for my online
business, www.habits.co.za, to become
easily recognizable.”
Clothing DNA
Habit’s
signature look is somewhat classic and definitely classy. The Habits brand
defines sustainable luxury with the designs having a timeless feel about them.
Attracting the youth is important to the brand, allowing a breakaway from sane
and sensible designs.
Collection
Inspiration
“It’s always
difficult to say exactly what inspires me but number one is the younger
generation – they have such an irreverent style. One thousand ideas are
permanently whizzing through my head and basically it’s all about making women
look fabulous. This year’s Spring/Summer 2012/13 collection has everything from
stripes to paint box brights, soft pastels, flowing silks and the inevitable
little black dress.”
Craig Port – By Craig Port
Brand Vision
Craig Port
embodies a philosophy that always looks towards the future with a design
aesthetic that is cutting edge, desirable and fun.
Clothing DNA
Craig Port
clothing is both easy to wear and great on the eye, channelling the
sophistication of the world’s seaside playgrounds while embracing the
endless-summer atmosphere of the Cape’s Atlantic Seaboard.
Collection
Inspiration
“Our
Spring/Summer 2013 collection embodies a strong, distinct tempo going back to
the days of restlessness where we dressed with our hearts. It encompasses the
glamorous and giddy flapper girls and the ultra dapper men of the night. It is
all about beauty and splendour. The base colours are onyx, bone, gold and coral.
Gelato colours, pistachio, dusty mint and blossom as well as the classic
combination of French navy and cream with hints of metallic and shimmer.”
So it looks like
I’m going to have to make magic happen tonight. Will need an outfit to match
the clothes that will take to the ramp!!! It’s going to be explosive.
Absolutely incredible. Just can’t wait.
