Fashion Comic: Guillotine S/S 2010 Part 1 S.A. Fashion Week

The response to the blog in the last few days has been phenomenal. Thanks for all the comments (friendly and unfriendly, but mostly the friendly ones). I am taking all suggestions into consideration and will be putting them into the blog when I can [animated fashion comics coming in the near future].

Also I just picked up on a really interesting acticle by Threadbare: What is this "Fake" in The Fake Sartorialist? a snipet:

"Schuman actually provides a comment on The Fake Sartorialist post (March 31, 2010) that ominously intones, "Intellectual property beware. Intellectual freedom beware. En garde." I think the en garde is pretty funny - even charming in another context - but I'm not really sure if he's threatening Cachucho or being playful here." (Threadbare article)

I'm not sure wether this comment is by Scott or not (its unlikely, but no one can tell from anonymous comments). It is a rather charming comment, as long as it is playful and not threatening....

Since the comment itself is utterly baseless*  I'm assuming its not of the threatening kind?

* (see previous posts on what The Fake Sartorialist is really about, and the above mentioned article)

And now for some entertainment!

Superella S/S 2010 - S.A. Fashion Week

Comic text: 

Spring/Summer is a circus affair this year for Superella. Geometric shapes bring to mind high school trigonometry, with squares and triangles abound. Ella uses a palette of black and white (for the outgoing mime in you) mixed with patches of bright playful colours and prints. Volume and shape is used superbly though at times the billowing forms could do with some reigning in. 

Guillotine S/S 2010 S.A. Fashion Week

I had the privileged to work with Lisa Jaffe of Guillotine to create an intro video for her Spring/Summer 2010 show entitled 'The Sweetness of Terror'. The show was shown on the first day of South African Fashion Week (held at the Turbine Hall in Johannesburg), and got a great response (see image gallery here). Congratulations to Lisa for creating a killer show.

I also designed a pamphlet that was given out to the audience for the show. At last something I've made has gotten into the hands of Dion Chang (see image below)

South African Fashion Week S/S 2010

The Fake Sartorialist will be a guest blogger for S.A. Fashion Week.

Yes darlings, get ready to have sassy up to the minute FRONT ROW commentary at S/S 2010 South African Fashion Week.
You can be sure I'm going to take a different angle to the others :) It will be fashion commentary like only The Fake Sartorialist can do.
