SA Fashion Week: Good Luck to Earthquake!
Oh yes it’s that time again… SA Fashion Week in Jozi. We’re looking forward to some really original, visionary and mind-blowing fashion. We’re sure we won’t be disappointed.
This year Represent has some good friends taking part … Some of you may remember the LOTTO JEANS PROJECT in 2005…Last year we put together a plan to help a young design label make some capital to get…
themselves off the ground… well the good news is that less than a year later John from Earthquake is taking part in the Elle New Talent competition… He’s being growing in leaps and bounds and we wish him all the best and look forward to seeing his range on Thursday. Earthquake Rocks! Go for it buddy! Click here to find out about the beginnings of Earthquake.
