Neo Tsebe reviews Prudence Kau's Essence of a Heroin Collection
Prudence Kau , the
Alumni of North West School of Design showcased on the 6th November 2015 for the theme of Pinnacles of
Fashion (Past Present Future) at the Platinum Fashion Festival.
With her own
interpretation of the PFF theme, Prudence chose to represent heroic women
through the successful expression of her unique theme : Essence Of Heroine.
Prudence Kau
portrayed a feeling of strength and power in each design, representing modern
successful woman.
‘’We workout and we
like to show it off, it’s the heroine attitude”, said Prudence Kau. The collection had sense of royalty and
luxury that embodies the sensibility with a heroic attitude. The fabric was fashioned with good quality and attention to
detail. This exquisite collection
included peplums, structured pieces with long floor length skirts, short
dresses. Kau showcased shades of burnt orange mixed with Rose Quartz.
Good balance of
hemlines and necklines as well as the good use of proportion in the designs,
finished off with great styling, worked fantastically good together. Good use
of Applied Design, with each element enhancing the other, rather than
distracting from the design.
As this was her
first Ready To Wear Collection, the goal was for consumers to buy as many
garments as possible. We see her trend
prediction as now spot on with selected pieces available online on www.iwearnwsd.co.za.
Prudence Kau
eventually picked the fruit of her hard work, when she was awarded with
the Best Retail Range at the 2015 Platinum Fashion Festival. Prudence, all woman salute you for your
wonderful achievement.
Meagan Nichols reviews Mpho Mphuti's Up Town Cool Collection
Joane' Schoeman reviews Sindy Mare's A le Mode le Dame Collection
Stripes stormed the 2015 runways in every style you can possibly imagine—some ran horizontal while others vertical; there were thick lines and super skinny ones, too. Stripes don't necessarily have to walk the straight and narrow path.
At the Platinum Fashion Festival in 2015 Sindy Marè made her collection one to remember. Ensuring the clever and conventional use of asymmetrical black-and-white stripes, she had a collection that stood out. Staying on the right side of the fashion trend cycle, with the classic black and white, which I find as a winner in every wardrobe, her stripes went in every direction. I can definitely see that she accurately did her research in designing this wonderful range.
I feel that this collection is not only a retail buyer’s must-see, but is something a Kardashian would wear. Many of the details featured in this collection has hit the retail stores which proves that Sindy hit the target with her trend prediction of long flare points on the sides, the halter necks, the off- the- shoulder tops and the round necklines.
