STIAAN LOUW '6'

I have been waiting with excitement and anticipation for of Stiaan Louw's new collection 6. on the 18 of February " 6" made it's debut at the JFW2011 and yes the collection has certainly lived up it's reputation from it's inception.

The collection draws inspiration from Masai, Middle Eastern, Indian and ancient Greek elements to create garments reminiscent of the Mesopotamian ideal and bridges the gap between the Afro and Euro-centric fashion void, the somewhat feminine collection displays range of flowy* fabrics in subtle/neutral colours from nude to purple with a dash of  bright coloured accesories.

After a display of this breath taking collection Stiaan Louw is certainly my number on means-wear designer.

Stiaan Louw’s six

When I heard that Stiaan Louw was awarded best menswear designer in Africa during the AFA early this year i thought what? I never heard of this guy before, and his collections have captured my heart thereof. Stiaan Louw certainly one of  the most talented South African fashion designer will be no doubt make it  BIG in African fashion and the world thereof.His new collection defined Project 6, is just pure artistry the from what i have gathered from other blogs the collections explores four component's which blends project together (read: messai, middle eastern,indian and ancient greek) while posing the question what is African aesthetic?

i certainly can't wait to see the rest of the project 6 collection,keep reading and I'll keep you updated.
