From the 6th to the 8th of September, Crystal Court at Mall of Africa is where it's at. SAFW is hosting the Ladieswear Designer Pop-Up and you definitely need to check it.
Here are two designers we are obsessed with that we suggest you check out;
Sober Design House
The essence of urban chic, Sober Design House was launched by Tshepo Mafokwane, who discovered she was incapable of accepting both the conformity and mediocrity she found surrounding her. Her design signature speaks a language of bold, ultra-feminine shapes, with tailored shoulders and waists, which are contrasted with unexpected touches of softness and sparkle. The Tshwane University of Technology graduate boldly celebrates all women and their tremendous ability to conquer anything.
