Wow......

I'm pretty sure anyone who has visited this blog since its inception has picked up on my obvious adoration and slight obsession with the works of uMaKhumalo. This is the latest from Sindiso Khumalo for Autumn/Winter 2013 titled Umabo. Umabo is one of the Zulu wedding ceremonies where the bride is welcomed into the home/family of the groom. The bride comes bearing gifts for the grooms family dressed in traditional Zulu attire wearing a skirt called isiDwaba( a traditional Zulu maiden skirt made of cow hide the has folds resembling pleats and is given to a bride by her father to wear on her wedding day). I love Sindisos interpretation of the beauty and vibrance of this ceremony and i must say this collection epitomises that.

Elle Rising Star Design Award

Skattie @ Hyeres

My fav blogger and fashion photographer Malibongwe of www.skattiewhatareyouwearing.blogspot.com attended the Hyeres festival again a few weeks ago. This collection by Satu Muraan is my fav from the those that he captured and put up on his blog. This collection speaks volumes to me, excuse the pun. I dig those platforms and  how freaken awesome is this hat!! Larger than life! Wouldnt mind one of those to protect me from this Durban sun that is blazing despite the season.
Speaking of Mali, he is one of the judges for this years Elle Rising Star Awards which was also launch recently. Designers do your thang, get cracking and enter.

SAFW Loxion Kulca

I know this post is ridiculously late,but i just remembered how much i enjoyed the Loxion Kulca show during SAFW. It was great to see a label as "old" in the industry still able to be relavant today as it was in the 90's. Sustained fashion, design and business. Fashion is more than just making up creative design but is also a business that must be managed in order for longevity and this label epitimises that.

Oh my Natalie

Natalie Creed label has been on my radar ever since its inception in 2011. Their latest  collection is a reminder of what i appreciated from her designs in the first place, attention to detail, femininity and youthful hues. Natalie Creed designs are stocked in a number of boutiques around the country as well as online. Check out the rest of this amazing collection on their website. Support local designers and be apart of the great growth of the industry locally.
