Kobus Dippenaar’s affluent collection at CapeTown fashion week

By admin | August 14, 2007

The talk about upcoming Cape Town fashion week is not new but every time it hits its audience’s heart with a new charm. The charisma of the event resides in revealing new designs, patters and unique textures practiced by the renowned designers. Now in its fifth year, the event has matured swiftly into one of the debut newly-originated fashion weeks, offering a global podium for designers across sub-Saharan Africa.

While the first two-days witnessed the presence of South African designers viz. Deo Sagoe, Stoned Cherrie, Mosa Makuenas, Jenny Le Roux and Craig Jacobs; much was left as unveiled territory. Today I take the opportunity of divulging the beautiful yet sensuous creation by another member of the South African designer family— Kobus Dippenaar.

More than the silhouette, it is the junk accessory including rough stones that was the highlight of the collection. Doing away with the contrast and other matching color-theme, Kobus seem to carve a new design statement by offering the ornaments bearing the same shade as that of outfit.
