The Art of Fashion

August Hits in June

This is designer Robyn Victor, of the label August. Make a note of it because she is going to be around quite a bit in the coming months. I will be wearing a stupendous silver grey silk parka from her summer 09/10 collection at ARISE Africa Fashion Week, so if you are there, come and have a look.
Robyn works in exquisite fabrics and finishes everything beautifully. So fabric and construction are winners. Her designs are accessible and wearable by young and those heading rapidly toward their fortieth birthday — less than five weeks away — and she hits all the upcoming trends. A really nice package.
