I hear 46664 (four, double six, six four) and I think prison number (prisoner number 466 of 1964) given to Mr Mandela when he was incarcerated for life on Robben Island, the word fashion would be my last thought thus my expectation were nothing extraordinary.The collection was rather a shock to me and other fashion enthusiasts, a vibrant execution of color blocking,energetic, exciting, modern African collection for both menswear and womenswear.
SAFW Mantsho
Mantsho kept to the African inspired aesthetic yet moved away from the normal African tribal prints like we have seen in previous collections.The collection explored different fabrics and gave a more ethnic contemporary couture with grey hues and creams which gave a warm color palette.

NYFW Marc Jacobs S/S 2012
14 September 2011
The Marc by Marc Jacob collection was not different to what we have seen before at the NYFW thus far. 60s inspired, relaxed, youthful yet mature collection with a slight bit of prep. The collection plays around with bright colours from the semi fitted silhouettes for man to the fitted silhouettes for man.
