I love most of this collection. The pieces all have personality + strong individual characters. Truly complete, each one.

[…] Wow! This red-haired (make that dreadlocked) fashion veteran has just become ur new FFD (favourite fashion designer). This woman not only knows what a collection is, she knows how to put together a brilliant, breathtaking show and tell a story through her clothing. Starting off with her signature introduction - fairy dressed children, in this case, wearing mini-versions of the designs to come, Fassler’s collection was inspired by Cape Town born Marlene Dumas, who specializes in distorting portraits of people, life and expressionism in watercolours and ink. Each design took from elements of Dumas’ work, as well as being a social commentary. Fassler did what many designers have not (at least not yet) been able to do - evolve that which is intrinsically South African into something that could walk anywhere in the world, yet still be authentic. Shweshwe (Xhosa ethnic print textile) went bling and fantastical with her colourful embroidery on the huts and face patterns on the fabric. The Venda culture was sampled with colourful, fairy-like chiffon skirts with soft pleats, each layer showing a different hue. The overall theme of Fassler’s collection (in my humble interpretation) was fantasy and fairytale - a quest to boast our femininity in all its wiles and wildness - from leopard print leggings under tassled skirts with broderie-anglaise to high waisted inverted goddess gowns and the LBD (long black dress) with an A-line tassled bottom and florid bodice. Fassler interpreted winter not only in textile use and design, but in colour - the illusion of being warm through wearing warm colours.
