Africa Fashion Week- Summer 2012

Ever since I was growing up, I always loved fashion. I love shopping for amazing clothing pieces and wearing them like no one else does. Fashion is a lifestyle, the ability to show forth your personality and who you are. Our dress-sense reflects on us, it sends a message to the world and let's face the truth, when we look good we feel great. I went to the Thula Sindi show @ Africa fashion Week and I must say, by the time I went home I felt very inspired. Thula's Summer range was very fresh and I mostly loved the leopard print collection. I love how African fashion has evolved and can compete with International fashion standards and still be able to hold its own. Fashion is a multi-billionaire industry and whether we like it or not we are all influenced by it. We may not want to wear the latest fashion trends but one way or the other we end up wearing clothes that were chosen by the people in the fashion industry. I adore vintage clothing and have been looking around joburg for vintage shops, I heard that Melville has a few vintage shops and I have promised myself to take a day off and head to Melville to find these hotspots.
