Was a bit skeptical with their move from AFI to Sanlam but they sure didn't disappoint.

A collection from JFW I can relate to! Love most of it but I hate the electric blue slacks (lazy escape from a better bottom design) and not psyched about a few others. But anyway, best so far. Two is truly better than one. Finally! A collection from JFW I can relate to!

Day TWO | FashionAfrica.com Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:25:41 +0000 http://www.fashionafrica.com/designers/kluk-cgdt/#comment-112 [...] The word couture is often thrown around carelessly in fashion but lesser known is that only companies or designers that have been listed on the Paris-based Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de Paris can call their designs haute couture or describe themselves as a couture house. Kluk CGDT, an amulgamation of two of Mzansi’s most prolific designers- Malcom Kluk and Christiaan Gabriel Du Toit, may not be on this list but under the definition of couture being high-fitted, custom fitting fashion, their designs are the ultimate experience of what homebrewed international couture looks and fits like. Sitting at their show, their designs could show at any fashion week in the world to acclaim. In their Autumn/Winter collection, the pair aptly interpreted the burst of colour that is set to brighten up winter fashion, creating an aura of warmth through hues like cerese, rich browns, red, black, juxtaposed with luxurious and flowing fabrics like satin, chiffon, lace, lace over satin, chiffon with satin etc.. My favourite design(hard to choose as these may have been) was the white layered one shoulder chiffon empire dress as well as the party hat and glittery masks used to accessorise the designs.
