WOW! What a fantastic evening last night at the opening day of Durban MTN Fashion Week.
The weather was appalling but being super prepared, MTN and Fashion Week organizers set up water tight marquis with heaters and served us pretty much unlimited glasses of Mumm’s champers.
I went with my fantastic friend Angela Illing (ex head designer for K-SWISS SA), and found some fresh oysters being served to fill the gap and “sober” us up.
The first Show was Gideon who reall is absolutely fantastic at capturing style moments in time. The whole show smacked of the French Rivieria in the 1940’s/1950’s. Bright and wondrous colours juxtaposed with intricate patterns - cabin boys, ladies of leisure set against walks by the sea or cornerside cafe. Fantastic! Gideon really transported the crowd to a stylized moment in time - yes through the medium of fashion it seems that even time holds no restraints or barriers where top designer Gideon is concerned.
