I loved all the outfits that were displayed in the fashion show (see my video below)this collection is so free spirit and fun. I also took some pics of my favorites guest´s looks.

La semana pasada asistí al evento de lanzamiento Primavera - Verano 2014 de Top Shop. Fue una noche maravillosa con la gente más estilosa de Johannesburgo, quienes asistieron para ver que trae Top Shop para esta temporada. Me encantaron todos los looks que fueron mostrados en el desfile (mira mi video más abajo), está colección es divertida y evoca un espíritu muy libre.  También tomé fotos de mis pintas favoritas de los asistentes.

LOVE AFRICAN FASHION


MOOD: Celeste - Ezra Vine

"Every African – and non-African – should always have a piece of
Africa with them at all times, especially in their wardrobe" says Jimmy Umba, owner and creator of Bantu Wear. 
Last week I went to Cape Town for 3 days to shoot a tv commercial for Middle East (I will talk about it in another post), during my free time, I decided to explore the city but my main objective was to find interesting things related to fashion.  
I went to downtown and discovered a boutique called Bantu Wear. I  felt in love with this place and I was fascinated with all the colors, fabrics and textures that I found there. Bantu Wear is an african couture brand created in 2008. The owner, originally from Congo, envisioned a brand that could marry western and modern design with african print and fabrics.
