We were
desparate to show you the Black Coffee show, so please excuse the quality of the pics, but they were taken from front row by the ELLE fashion team, because we are completely in love with this collection!
Jacques says the collection all started with some
Mozambican fabric with a geometric print, which led to experimentation with geometry and repetition. The overall idea was a modern African aesthetic.
ELLE loved the origami , and how the folded repetition of the African fabric formed it's own new pattern. We loved the engineered sculpting of the ribbon which had a skeletal effect. Black Coffee was able to transport us into their vision of what is contemporary with African spirit, uniquely South African.
Some of these dresses took 6 days to make and have over 100 metres of ribbon!
If like me you are so not ready for that bikini yet, you will be glad to know that it's all about the fullpiece, it's pared down and grown up. This is from Black Coffee
Black Coffee
Lunar- love the lace ribbon effect
