STYLE NOTES: Suzaan Heyns//South Africa [Day 3, Africa Fashion Week 2010]

 

Set against a backdrop of near pitch blackness, Suzaan Heyns' structural, carefully constructed pieces shone through. Draped layers, ruching, cutout patterns, felt, wool and leather culminated in unusually beautiful and poetic creations. Some models looked down, others looked forward without the slightest emotion. Unfortunately, it's not entirely clear what they're trying to say but there's a clear sense that a message seeks to break through. We're charmed, fascinated and endlessly infatuated.

audi joburg fashion week day 4: suzaan heyns

suzaan heyns put on a show that bordered on other-worldly, complete with latex, oversize black lips, skulls, capes, and powder. shades of gray and black were also prominent and featured alongside pieces with braided detailing, structure, and draping. while some pieces bordered on costumey, most of the pieces shown presented a fresh new direction in gothic glamor and were filled with the most alluring twists, dips and turns.
