Joburg Fashion Week opens with Die Vorm
Joburg Fashion Week, opening on Wednesday 16 February 2011 at the Bus Factory, in Newtown, Johannesburg, will launch with the new autumn/winter (A/W) collection - Die Vorm from Suzaan Heyns.
This year, she has used her fascination with human anatomy and the mechanics of the human form to inspire the collection. It highlights the anatomy through exploring the body and using its parts as ornamentation.
"The human anatomy is a concrete, natural and flawless form, and I want to express how such a constructed shape can be manipulated and deformed, using avant-garde cuts and detailed design techniques," explains Heyns, a Johannesburg based label, appealing to the artistic thinking woman and men who like a little exclusivity.
The show will also feature some surprises and appearances. Tickets are available from Computicket.
