ARISE CAPE TOWN FASHION WEEK



There are so many reasons to love African Fashion International's Arise Cape Town Fashion week, not least of which are the delicious models in the Craig Port show.

Dax martin showcased fabulous swimwear, some with a deliciously naughty S&M feel. Fabiani showcased fabulous men's linen pants for summer and gorgeous three-piece suits complete with 'Avenger' style bowler hats. Blue was the  colour for many designers this year (great for me, it's my favorite) as well as painted toes for the guys (not sure about this one.)
But the shows are only half of it, and the real fun is had at the myriad of after parties, most notably Gavin Rajah's at Nobu where I had a ball with Jennifer Su and Bjorn Steinbach, AFI's official after party at HQ and of course Craig Port's party at the Table Bay Hotel, organized by Jill Grogor and sponsored by GQ and Glamour magazine. Fundudzi designer, Craig Jacobs had his birthday bash at 91 complete with an outstanding midnight fashion show. After all these parties, this fashionista has swopped her heels for Havaianas for a few days. My sincerest apologies feet, but no-one ever said that fashion was easy!
