Spring is springing and fashion season is hotting up with the Spring/Summer collections on show in the coming months. Edgars is getting in on the gig as the official partner of of SA Fashion Week, which kicks off at the end of September. Mpumalanga Fashion Week follows in November. The motoring industry celebrated VWSA's 60th birthday last week, along with a bump in new car sales. Motorists, however, won't be pleased as the petrol price climbs another 9c per litre this Wednesday. SA's dairy industry looks to be deep in the proverbial cowpat, as the number of milk producers rapidly dwindle. While I don't think we've seen the last of winter's rains, hope springs eternal. Happy spring everyone!
