Thanks to Jenevieve Lyons I got to attend The MBFWJ in Sandton this past weekend and all I got to say is people are talented out there. I was so inspired by all the different designs and the creativity put into it. The music selection was on point

Although most designers cater for women, some have ventured into men’s designers and Jenevieve Lyons’s designs were magnificent and they sure looked warm, after all winter is approaching.

The opening of Avant Apparel show had me sitting in anticipation as I watched a video of a model in the wild and I could not wait to see what they had in Store.

I loved the fact that the designers took us to different journeys. Ruald Rheeder certainly took me somewhere I liked. The soundtrack went well with the designs and on the screens there was a video of a cemetery on the screen which I found very cool.

Fabiani definitely had my kind of guy in mind. Playful yet serious and can easily adapt to any situation. A gentlemen who can be in a business meeting, go on a date and have drinks with buddies in the same outfit.

Augustine
For me the Augustine show had a futuristic element about it and again the soundtracks were on another level. They had me dancing. Black and white seemed to be their colours and I loved the sneakers with bright colours

I am an avid traveler with a background in copywriting, social media management, art exhibition and music festival curation. I am a huge bookworm who not only enjoys getting lost in books, but I also enjoy writing on topics such as travel, art and fashion. I am interested in working in any projects relating to copywriting for small businesses, fiction writing, curating exhibitions for visual artists in Africa. I am also keen to work with small businesses in developing their social media strategies. Africa is my first love and I am currently having a great time exploring her.
