CONGRATULATIONS TO STIAAN LOUW

Last night at the Marie Claire Prix de la mode awards, Stiaan Louw, no stranger to our blog, got the citation nod for Best Fashion Designer. Congrats!

But the big news is that Stiaan will be showing his garments abroad in London, which quite honestly is about time. The 19th of September sees the international unveiling of a capsule collection which derives from his JFW showing with hints of his new direction at Vauxhall Fashion Scout.
