Survive winter by celebrating summer at Cape Town Fashion Week
Survive what’s left of winter by treating yourself to a taste of summer at the Cape Town Fashion Week (#CTFW). Extraordinary South African fashion designers will reveal their 2011 summer collections at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from the 14th to the 16th of July.
African Fashion International (AFI) @AFI_sa, the Cape Town Fashion Council and SA and Cape Town Tourism have carefully selected the designers they invited to participate. And, if the previous collections of these designers are anything to go by, it would seem that those on the selection team have outstanding taste.
Here are 7 of the designers that have been invited whose 2011 collections are sure to be awesome and whose talents are most definitely worth celebrating.
Michelle Ludek
Michelle Ludek’s designs amaze me. Stylish, timeless and comfortable – what more could a girl ask for? Her pieces are always made from fabulous fabrics, they’re flattering, feminine and easy to wear.
Her collection for Cape Town Fashion Week was inspired by a trip to Mozambique, where the raw heat of the country has been translated into colour, prints and a level of comfort.
Tailored pieces will be paired with her signature draped knit pieces. The silhouettes are longer: maxi dressed in bold floral prints have pleated details.
Tart
Tart is a lady’s range that is simple, stylish and oh so wearable. The brand evolved from t-shirts to summer dresses to cocktail dresses without missing a beat.
Tart has infused leisurewear with style. Soft, fluid fabrics are cleanly cut into simple silhouettes and imbibed with youthful energy with the use of splashes of colour and bold accessories.
Tart creates affordable feel-good garments that you can just slip on and go. I can’t wait to see what their 2011 collection holds!
