With one month to go untill fashion week, the studio is hard at work creating pieces that are going to blow you away, all very exciting and the colours will definately brighten up your day. We have three interns that have joined us, this week Salva Dembele from Mozambique, Liz Stone from Fedisa and Kinvara from Bridge House, all sharing a love for fashion and design. With lots of helpers, the studio is filled with inspiring fashion goers.

“Happiness comes to those who are moving towards something they want very much to happen. and it almost always involves making someone else happy!”

The 2011 summer range is inspired around birds and their natural being showing off beautiful colours, styles, accesories and ofcourse feathers. Another attractive and timeless range that promises to bring a new meaning of life and play into fashion.

The perfect triumph is to be most vividly and perfectly alive, just like a bird.

July the 16th is when its all happening, venue and time to be confirmed. Watch this space.

The lovely Lindiwe Suttle sang for us at our opening. She looked beautiful in one of our dresses.

Thank you Lindiwe Suttle.

This is how I found Lindiwe.

I was looking for someone, a local celebrity to perhaps wear Anna-belle at our opening. So I started searching. We were looking for someone who would suit our brand. So I google’d Lindiwe and I went to her website. I clicked on her music and listened to her first song. Please go and listen to it. It is about a GPS and her tracking someone. What a coincidence. I called her up and she said yes, she would love to be a part of this whole thing. What a small world. Thank you Lindiwe Suttle for making our opening so special.

Tonight is the night Stefania and I have to make a speech. Stefania is nervous but why am I the one with the migraine? I hope I remember to thank everyone involved.

The new shop is open today but there is a million and one little things still to do before the party tonight.

On Saturday we put the change room curtains up and we didn’t like them at all. So today Stefania quickly went to buy fabric, the ladies and Stephan in the work room must have steam coming out their machines not to mention their ears.

Telkom has yet to show up. The huge windows still need cleaning. Anna-belle needs some tweeking as well as a travel bag. Lindiwe Suttle is coming in at any time looking for an outfit for tonight as well as setting up her band somewhere in the shop, the wine is going to be delivered at some time and requires 5 hours chilling and so on and so on.

It has been a crazy couple of moths and I think I can speak for the whole team as well as for Stefania in saying that we all need a nice long holiday.

Tonight is going to be amazing, I hope. Tomorrow I will be putting up all the information about Anna-belle for everyone to see.

Later

The widely talked about Spring Summer range will be available for the first time in Cape Town at our new shop on 6 September. Be the first to own one of a kind pieces as seen at CT Fashion Week.
