Stiaan - SA Menswear for the Stylish


Thanks to our friends at SASS, http://southafricanstreetstyle.wordpress.com/, the SA fashion blog that brings all things newsworthy to our attention, I found out about the coolest thing in SA menswear to date. SASS featured local designer Stiaan Louw's autumn/winter menswear range back at the beginning of the month, and through a series of Capetonian interactions, I landed up visiting Stiaan's studio for a good old look see the other day. I have got to say it is pretty exciting. I may even have squealed a bit. For the sophisticated gentleman who refuses to grow up, this is club wear for the properly stylish and casual wear for the beautiful. The hoodie made of wool and pleather, the cardigans fashioned from velvet and sequins. The skinny pants that actually flatter. I am on the list for the first glimpse of the Spring/Summer range out soon.
