Trend Alert: Colourful socks

After MBFW A/W 2013, I highlighted that a trend for this Autumn/Winter would be colourful socks (Click here to see the trends).

I could not resist but to get myself a few pairs of these colourful socks.

Colourful socks can help to brighten a rather dull or plain outfit.

 The trend is global and celebrities, bloggers and street style personalities are flaunting their creative side, showing that wearing socks can be fun!

Some people would say the craze took hold because wearing flashy socks is more than an expression of your personality.

I will be blogging about various colourful sock brands over the next few weeks.

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.
