Clive Rundle: SAFW 2013 S/S collection

Clive Rundle – Fashion, Art & Psychology

Fashion is more than just clothes! Fashion is art and that is what Clive Rundle demonstrated during SAFW with his spring/summer collection.

Clive’s inspiration for the collection was the Rorschach inkblot test, which is a psychological test in which subjects’ perceptions of inkblots is recorded and analysed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms or both.

Fabiani’s MBFW 2013 collection: Perfection!

There's always so much to get excited about with any Fabiani collection. The old saying ‘save the best for last’ is true with Fabiani closing MBJFW 2013 with his autumn/winter collection.

I had a front row seat and was incredibly happy and honoured to have attended the Fabiani show. Fabiani has perfected the art of creating a safe, stylish and clean menswear collection. The collection included both casual and formal looks.

The collection encapsulated what the brand stands for which are exceptional quality, unique Italian style, distinctive detailing and bold colours. The collection was loaded with attitude and full of tailored clothing which included suits, chinos, jeans, t-shirts, jerseys, jackets and blazers. The palette pops in blue, green, maroon, brown and black.

The styling of the collection was impeccable. I loved the happy socks/pop socks which the models wore as well the pocket squares!

This was the best collection I have seen this entire fashion week!

Ruald Rheeder : MBJFW 2013 Autumn/Winter Collection

Ruald Rheeder was the second show I attended at Mercedes-Benz Johannesburg Fashion Week 2013. His collection was both edgy and sophisticated. He followed the autumn/winter theme throughout his show. His collection anticipates the winter season that lies ahead.

There were several highly desirable pieces in his collection, but overall I liked all of his looks! His collection included suits, fitted blazers, sleek jackets, tailored trousers and must-have coats.

Everyone in the audience whipped out their phones when the model came down the runway wearing a fur coat! My favourite piece from the collection was the gold suit.

Ruald used a sophistaced palette of black, grey, brown and gold. I loved how he used the fabrics (velvet, suede, faux fur, silk, wool, leather & lace) and prints in his collection.

Ruald Rheeder's collection is well-executed and takes most recent fashion trends into account. He is definitely taking men’s fashion to another level in South Africa.
