If I was a famous fashion designer, I’d without a doubt use Coco Sumner as my muse.

Coco is the daughter of legend ‘Sting’. Coco has her own band called ‘I blame coco’. Her hit single ‘Ceasar‘ is amaze. And she’s only 19 years old…

She has her own unique style. Sort of indie, boho vibes – which is awesome.

Coco, I ♥ you.

On Wednesday the 9th of June was the Sunglass Hut Totally Wired launch at the isael Art Gallery in Bree Street.

Sunglass Hut asked Streetwise (a social development project) to make 1000 wired, beaded wayfarers with selected colour styles (representing certain teams). Each pair costs R150 where R70 of that goes to OneSight organisation. Each pair also had the signiture of the person who made it.

There were also auctions of other wired sunglasses. Sunglass Hut raised R20100 in 15 mins for OneSight!

There were many familiar faces around: Wedaad from Sunglass Hut, Talya Goldberg, Robyn from O Mag, stylists, FashionJazz, Ernie Els, and comedian Nic Robinowitz.

It was a fabulous launch.

Jasna asked me to attend the DFS (Design For Style) fashion show with her at Cappello. (This was the first time I had ever been).

I’m always pretty stoked to support local designers. Each fashion show is unique as it showcases one  individual designers garments. This designer had an African influence – animal skin sandles, T-Shirts with Bafana influence, subtle colours, embroidery, etc.

OK, Cappello’s…

Jasna will do a more in depth post I’m sure, so check her blog out. The post should be up soon.
