Fashion Week: Paul van Zyl
I’m guessing that Paul van Zyl’s gowns are what millions of women (those who picture themselves in wedding dresses), dream about when they think about their ‘big day’. I guess what I’m saying is that I was finally tempted to picture myself in a wedding dress and it’s all because of Paul van Zyl- when those models came out in those gorgeous white pieces, I had the girly “oh how beautiful” thought. He tied in a very important HIV/ AIDS and crime theme. A cape with a huge AIDS ribbon made up of little badges positioned the back of it made a very unsubtle statement about HIV/ AIDS. Just the amount of time it took to put the garment together is a contribution to positive messages about the disease. (It must have taken hours) Paul van Zyl’s wedding gowns and evening wear truly leave one gawking! Click here to see photos from the show.

Fashion Week: Sun Goddess on fire!
Sun Goddess recently launched his and hers fragrances (Kumkani and Goddess) and everyone who attended their Audi Joburg Fashion Week show got to take one home (YAY!). Sun Goddess has definitely evolved since its inception and the show attendance was just proof of that! Vince was there… The collection included beautiful evening wear and a ready-to-wear range comprising of skirts and dresses that redefined African Couture, classic combination of luxurious browns and chocolate colors as well gorgeous denim dresses with stunning bead finishing’s. The fabulous leather skirts and jackets added a different feel to the Sun Goddess look. Long luxurious beads, brown belts, bold clutch bag were a pleasant surprise and a great addition to this winter’s accessories. A standing ovation put a stamp of approval on the collection.

Fashion Week: CGdT and KLuK’s Tea Party
With an opening act of the typical boy meets girl and falls in love scene from a romance movie CGdT and KLuK launched their winter range. The gallery was draped in white lace and the catwalk scattered with coloured autumn leaves, the models walked slowly with small garden umbrellas- it felt like a big tea party. At first the boy and girl are in love and then they fight leaving the boy begging for the girls attention and affection and at the end they get back together and (I assume) live happily ever after. The clothing? Well in true CGdT and KLuK fashion, it was long silky lacy dresses pleats and cute little floral dresses. Hmmm, I don’t know you decide, check out the pics.

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.co.za/ 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.
