[…] . . .The issue of designers not actively being involved in making garments for their collection is a huge point of contention in the industry. Can these people really be called designers if they can’t even sew? Enter Craig Jacobs - by day a fashion and lifestyle journalist for a leading Sunday newspaper in SA and by night, a fashion designer. The king of network, Craig has bulleted his way through the catwalks amidst controversy of his credibility as a designer for this very reason (being a journalist and not being able to sew). Last year, he was also one of the first designers to be chosen to show a collection at Paris Fashion Week along with Gavin Rajah (his good friend and sponsor organiser for the invitation), Thula Sindi and David Tlale, another decision which had fashion tongues wagging. Those who saw his show at last year’s Audi Joburg Winter/Autumn Fashion Week say that this year is a tremendous improvement and innovation. I agree. Craig not only conceptualised his show - there were three themes: working woman; free(dom) and couture (there goes that word again!) inspired by his grandmother, who took him to see his first Bond movie, he carried his stories consistently through each range. The working woman range played with rich browns, golds and warm fabrics contrasted with satin while the Fundudzi free range chose cerese as its signature hue, with the song Purple Rain serenading the models wearing various styled cerese dresses. My ultimate favourite was a hooded knee- length dress with an exaggerated hood that droped in to a drape with a brown lining - perfect for movnig from play to high-end networking. You can see his collection on the Designers section of FashionAfrica.com or Click THIS. […]
