In July I have had the opportunity to meet Fred Sathal during the AFI Fastrack Seminar, where students and representatives from Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design such as myself attended, as well as other Fashion Institutions. She showed us a slideshow with images of her creations. The french designer is nothing short of Extraordinary, her work speaks miles, her work is just absolutely amazing.

Hello world, first of all I would like to apologize for the time I took to upload the blog again, I don't have internet anymore and crunch time mode is on: Exams are here! But I took a little break just to post this gorgeous collection from a designer who has been featured in this blog before: Mimi Plange! (Click here to view first post about this amazing designer).

And he did it!  Taibo Bacar showed his collection earlier this evening at the Melrose Arch, in front of an awe-struck audience, ending with a well deserved standing ovation. But then again, who of us expected any less? I know I didn't.

As promised, early post today just to show the flawless participation of Eliana Murargy with her brand MURADE at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Africa, yesterday, 25th of October. GOLD DUST Photo retrieved at Eunice Driver website

As some of you may know, I am a current 1st year (almost finished!!!) Alumni at the Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design , and am absolutely LOVING every second of it. Learn more the Academy here , and my story here .If you are in South Africa (or are planning to move here) and plan to enroll for next year, RUN! The time is now and you might still get a spot for next year! Anyway, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Africa has started, and a former Elizabeth Galloway Alumni, Kim Gush , presented her range on the Fasttrack section, yesterday, 24th October 2012. Take a look!

So, first of all I will admit my major girl crush on Marion Cotillard . She is Merveilleuse . Classy. Chic. She is just gorgeous. I love her. Ok enough gushing over her, maybe because I'm pissed that Solange straightened her hair, but anyway, Dior chose Marion Cotillard , who happens to be one of their Brand Ambassadors, to be featured on their first in-store magazine. In other words, if you happen to be in Paris, New York, or anywhere around the world, and visit/purchase anything from their boutiques, you will take one of these home. Take a look at the stunning photo shoot, followed by a documentary short video of her handbag campaign + this photo shoot. She is seen wearing Dior's iconic and timeless pieces/styles. This is why I Love fashion.

Hello Monday! I figure everyone is having the Monday Blues , and that it is being extremely difficult to concentrate on work. But, we gotta do, what we gotta do, and that's life! Anyway I wanted to share this lovely lookbook for Opening Ceremony Spring 2013. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
