Fashion Week: EXODUS by David Tlale
If you’ve been following David Tlale’s career from the time he won the South African Fashion Elle New Talent in 2003, you will understand why tremendous growth seems to be a natural part of this talented designer’s life, hence he’s been approached by Carducci to design their woman’s range “Carducci Woman” to be launched today at the Audi Joburg Fashion Week. Click here to see the show. His ready- to- wear Exodus range is an example of David’s attitude to regular fashion fads: It’s creative, fun, daring and adding a much needed colour to winter.

Fashion Week: Malick and Kobus Dippenaar
I, *Miss P* am a serious Sandtonite this week as I am going to be hanging out at the Audi Joburg Fashion Week which ends on Saturday the 17th February. I will be bringing the action to you as it happens, so if you’re into fashion like I am or your boss wouldn’t let you off work, keep your browser on Represent for the next few days http://represent.johannvisagie.com/ and press F5 (that refreshes the page) after every few hours for our update! Audi Fashion Week is being held at the Nelson Mandela Square inside a big beautiful glass marquee and yep you guessed it everyone in the fashion world is here… and might I say looking fabulous! Kicking things off in a really chilled Valentines vibe was Malick and Kobus Dippenaar. Click here to see our pics of the show. Love was in the air with Cape Town born Malick’s ravishing red range. Elegant and classic – his styling is really practical style and most definitely ‘ready to wear’. His winter range daywear collection is made up of richly textured cloth that is easy on the eye. Kobus Dippenaar has definitely got an eye for style, particularly considering that I am not one of those ‘picture myself in a wedding dress’ kind of girls – but some of those gowns just got me thinking… they were just beautiful! As Kobus says: “I don’t try and keep up with what is fashionable. The prevailing fashion may not suit a particular woman” (I like that!)

Fashion Week: Hip Hop – you don’t stop!
With every new song came a whole new look, it started off like a subtle reminder of the Fashion Movie of the Year 06, “The Devil Wears Prada” with red sexy, slinky dresses and models carrying devil forks. The Hip Hop collection was a wide colour palette of Reds, Pinks, Blacks, Blues, Whites and some Golds… Love it. The Hip Hop show was amazing, click here to see their style, certainly better than their last collection- one could see great effort and thought was put into this one- I have a long list of favourites- something from each colour- the only unmatched part of the outfits were the terrible shoes (I shant say much more about them!) RED/ PINK: Pink leather gloves, pretty floral corset’s, long red velvet body hugging dresses, some with beautiful long trails. BLACK: Killer suits, stripped stockings, lacy polka dot tea party dresses, gorgeous grey/ pink snugly winter jackets, and a bit of gold. NAVY/ BLUES: Long silky evening dresses, some with that crushed/ crumpled effect, the sweetest top hats to make the perfect statement, pinky/ purpley woollen jackets. WHITE: A beautiful African inspired lace dress worn with tiny tight white silky shorts and a big kudu horns to add more afro- flava to the dress.

Fashion Week: PORT in association with Caprice
Titled “The New Olympians” Craig Port’s collection was yet another display of pretty practicality! The Port/ Caprice collaboration made things very interesting for everyone in the crowd. Just as we were checking out some really snuggly men’s jackets (these are going to be perfect for winter!) a slinky model would walk down the glass/ mirror stage in the sexiest underwear under the sun. Catch pics of Craig and Caprice’s range here. The definition of The New Olympians range? Well he says: ‘The precariously nestled snow- fields high up on mountainous slopes that cut through the weather and the grid of civilization’ (Hmmm, I guess that means, wear my clothes and be warm and snuggly this winter) These images are supplied by Audi Joburg Fashion Week, click here to go to the...
