Occasionally I have to be go off topic. Recently, South Africa has caught my attention. In the past five years, South African Fashion Designers have been working to put themselves on the map with simple, concise collections that offer stunning wardrobe pieces that will appeal to prival label and mass retailers.

South African Fashion Design Collections are laden with vintage inspiration along with feminine accents and ladylike cuts. But there is always a sultry, seductive quality with a superb attention to detail, in even the simplest of dresses.
