AFW S/S12 Alexander Koutny

African Fashion Week went by rather so fast, which made it  hard to decide which collection was my favorite this year.  Thanks to the amazing work of Simon Deiner of SDR photos, looking back on which designer was my fav became so much easier.

One such designer is Jozi born and Internationally established Alexander Koutny, who gave a strong collection dominated by black silhouettes, which made a rather bold statement that black is beautiful and needs to be embraced. The use of leather and fur made for a somewhat heavy collection for summer, an overall strong and edgy collection, definitely one of my favorites.
