Africa Fashion Week 10 - KLuK CGDT




Sometimes it is the simplest ideas that are the most spectacular. Starting almost on time, the final show of Africa Fashion Week 10 was a fitting close to the parade of style shows we had witnessed. With a circus theme, we were welcomed into the 'big top' by a unicycling jester, a juggler making balloon flowers and a clown. The scene was set and we all embarked on the wonderful closing chapter of fashion week.
With a nod to KLuK CGDT's ballet design side-line and a wink to their personal tastes, Malcolm and Christian put on a show in four parts. Interspersed with dramatic high flying acts, gorgeous look after look paraded past, all beautifully crafted and typical of what the KLuK customer looks for. Day dresses, cocktail frocks, tailored trousers and extravagant gowns were all accounted for.
And as I filed out at the end I reflected on how robustly entertained and invigorated I had been by the show. How we hadn't had to wait ages for it to be set up. How the clothes were as spectacular as the show. And how much like a circus fashion week can be. Thanks boys.
