SATURDAY. GROOT CONSTANTIA. STIAAN LOUW, KIM GUSH, THE LITTLE HATTERY & MORE

This past Saturday I went to check out Fashion in the Forest, an annual fashion event initiated back in 2012. Five designers and brands were invited to showcase their latest collections for 'Winter/Spring 2014' (is that really a thing? like the seasons mixed up to suit our climate maybe? Dunno). The five were: Stiaan Louw, Rachel de Mardt, Kim Gush, DUSUD, Inner secrets lingerie for lux lingerie and swimwear brands. The Inner secrets show collaborated with milliners The Little Hattery to show off hat designs along with the lacy bits.

I really enjoyed the menswear, as usual these days. Sometime not so long ago menswear got interesting, designers and rappers have been running with it ever since. yay. Now now, please skattie i know some of you are super bright fashion nerds who've immersed themselves in every range ever created, like even Sister Bucks' most obscure work, and these days all you ever see are the references when looking at other people's shows, and you just can't wait to tell which bits you've seen before and by who. But take a seat please, just enjoy it, love some, hate some. It's Fashion in the Forest. Well, Groot Constantia wine farm to be exact, but hey, I agree, Fashion in the Forest sounds far more appealing that Fashion on the Farm. Anyway, as i was saying, it's a fashion show. in the forest. Chill and enjoy. I for one found quite a lotta pieces i want in my life. The moments below were the most fun for me.
