SA Fashion Week, for me, was about new discoveries. I fell in love with new designers, discovered some new cool trends that I'm dying to try out and I fell in love with some of my favourite designers all over again. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this amazing event and that's why I am so thankful for the internet! Here's a quick round-up of my 6 favourites from Fashion Week:
October 15th:
Gert Johan: One of my ultimate favourite local designers! Gert's collection theme was based on HIV awareness. Some of the prints on the garments were enlarged images of the virus under a microscope.

Black by Black Coffee: Designer Jacques van der Watt's
Figment collection was inspired by the works of Belgian surrealist artist, René Margritte. Jacques used bold and dreamy prints which were teamed up with some stunning accessories that were created in collaboration with the Ekurhuleni community.

Wake: Winner of Renault's
New Talent Search. I feel that their collection was relaxed and 'rooted', considering the colours and use of animal hide and organic prints.

Erre: (Pronounced "Air") is the new kid on the block and they totally won my heart with their all black collection. Their thick scarves and detailed garments were absolutely enough to get me ready for next year's cold season. Absolutely stunning!

Kat Van Duinen: Another all black collection! From the feathers and fur to the beading and sequins. Each item and accessory incorporated in this collection didn't draw attention away from the clothes themselves and I loved the soft touches, like the lace on some items to keep the looks chic.

Rubicon Clothing: My love! For the modern day woman, for the every day woman. Rubicon is just... life itself when it comes to women and clothes. This collection was one of the few that had me lost for words.
