DESIGNER EXTRAORDINAIRE GAVIN RAJAH'S COLLABO WITH CLINIQUE.....

Clinique has done it again, a hot collaboration with designer Gavin Rajah which is said to be available at selected Red Square and Edgars stores as of yesterday 16th July - 5 Aug 2012. So if you are a lover of clinique products like myself and a fashionista obviously hehehe. This has definitely got you going on a frenzy already because if you can recall the past Clinique Collaborations with Stone Cherrie's Glamtastic Khensani in 2010 and the charismatic David Tlale for 2011. Then you will know what i'm talking about!! I went mad with Khensani's clinique clutch bag and David Tlale's tote bag, so when i saw the Gavin Rajah inspired clutch, with the "on trend fashion influence of colour blocking" in turquiose and sliver grey!! I thought to myself dzamn Red Square stores here i come.....................

Who stole the spotlight..........#VDJ 2012.

And so it came and went, the excitement!! The buzz of the durban july has left behind some memorable moments. If you were part of it, i know you get me. If you missed it like myself(just caused you weren't there doesn't mean you mustn't be clued up on what went down), well i hope you know what went down or else keep your eyes glued for my version. Well as a fashion stylist, you best know that my version is always fashion, fashion and more FASHION. So i am a little disappointed that not alot of people stuck to the theme and honestly i thought it was the easiest to pull off. If you're not sure what the theme was; it was "a material world" which on my previous blog i even had suggestions and pictures of what i had hoped to see. Anyway, here are some of the people and familiar faces that caught my attention......

1. Mthoko.

2. Jo-Ann Strauss.

Noni Gasa and Lorna Maseko.

3. Dj Sbu with friend.

4. Jeanie D.

5. Don't know her name but her outfit caught my eye.

 6. Zuraida and her man.

 7. Minenhle Dlamini and Penny Lebyane.

8. My favourite clients(did your spot them at the july - dressed by flowerbug).

So there it is, those are some of the Dbn July 2012 showstoppers for me. And i have to say Mthoko had to be my #1 because i knew he was gonna pull off something fab, i met him through a friend about 3weeks ago and he let me in on his outfit. So the suspense had been killing me because he just knows how to transform his artistic vision to something wow=D. I would like to thank the VDJ for bringing out Noni Gasa, who has been lying low and happens to be my style icon....she and Lorna looked gorgeous, not forgetting the lovely Jeanie D as well. And Dj Sbu's  outfit was also hot. I mean that's what the Dbn July is about, stepping out your comfort zone and embracing that glamtastic, fashionista side of you.

Count down to the long waited Dbn July.....

2012 Durban July Theme

A MATERIAL WORLD? Seven billion people, the latest count.
Concern for the planet, the energies mount. This event is red, that’s for sure.
But support for green, is part of the cure. Spare a thought, for Mother Earth.
Need to save her, for all we’re worth. Sustainably harvested, natural, organic.
Alternative fibres, no time for panic. All these words, what do they mean?
For a start, change your routine. Reduce, respect, reconstruct, ‘My Dear’.
Recycle, repair, rethink, ‘Monsieur’. Show support, through what you wear.
Or what it’s made of, concern with flair. Glitz and sparkle, are definitely in.
The overall impression, is what will win. So for this day - Love red! Think green.
Your earth-friendly ensemble, will steal the scene! - sourced: Durban July website.

And so the long awaited Dbn July is upon us, this year's theme "A material world" has a twist to it; caring for mother nature and the world( the whole "going green" thing). With a few ideas that have been hinted above. It's gonna be interesting to see how fashionistas translate that into gorgeous "show stopper" pieces. Here are some of my ideas or rather outfits that i think may be seen at the July. If not, they should have been considered....
