SA Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013, ya bish

The Spring/Summer 2013 edition of SA Fashion Week took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Johannesburg from the 11th to the 13th of April. I managed to attend the last day of the collections, and as it happpens, two of my favourite three collections, Gert-Johan Coetzee and Skorzch, were from Day 3 (I think I was pretty much in a really good mood on Saturday, what with those sizzling male models and stuff).

Gert-Johan's collection was all kinds of striking - from the first look black dress with a crazy figure-belt of sorts made from seriously long spikes, to last mesh dress sheer in all the right places. But isn't that just what we've come to expect from Gert-Johan - the show will undoubtedly be striking, the question is how? How amazing was it that Isidingo actress, Jay Anstey, opened and closed the show? I swear I loved the sequence of white dresses so much that I'd get married in them... sans the spikes!

And then there was Skorzch. SA Fashion Week Renault New Talent Search 2012 winner, Zano Sithetho, sure did not disappoint. Some say the clothes were a tiny bit tight on the male models. I say, *cough* let the clothes hug the male models in the all the nooks and crannies we love, love, love... Ok. Excuse me.

No but on the real though , the pastels were so beautiful, and I seriously believe Zano is onto a winner. How can men not want to dress like that? Trust me, the front row screams are enough to tell you about the fans Skorzch already has.

But for me, the star of the entire Fashion Week was Black Coffee. I wasn't even at the show, but my goodness, do these pictures below tell of the style fairytale that was the Black Coffee collection. The designer, Jacques van der Watt, describes the collection as "created through hand-rendered patterns embellished onto delicate mesh dresses.

"These patterned textiles," they add, "are fashioned into ornate garments that are ceremonial yet undeniably contemporary. The collection also sees the introduction of custom printed textiles that mark the female body with immediacy." My goodness, if this isn't beauty, then I don't know what is. Behold:

However, think on this, suppose you added a little information?
I am not suggesting your content is not good,
but what if you added a post title that grabbed people's attention? I mean "SA Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013, ya bish" is kinda plain. You might look at Yahoo's front page
and note how they create post titles to grab people interested.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested
about what you've written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There
was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off
topic but I had to tell someone!
