The fashionable duo Alan and Krishen in association with
Flying Fish Premium Flavoured Beer were out to spot some trendy street-style
dressers at the SA Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015 shows. We certainly were not
disappointed by the young and funky bunch of fashionistas strutting their stuff
in original ensembles displaying their creative flair and sense of fashion.
Fashion Week is a time when creativity comes alive and the trendiest dressers
can be spotted. We were there to see what the young influencers were sporting
and what trends can be expected in the coming months.

One thing is certain: the bunch of young fashion-forward
individuals snapped by us were certainly not afraid of being daring with their
sense of style. Taking risks and expressing individuality through fashion
choices is what it is all about. Street style allows the space to explore and
expand upon a fashion idea and to take it to the max. This is exactly what we
spotted at SA Fashion Week.

So what were the main trends seen? The Sports Luxe influence
is still big on the street-style scene. This includes sporty elements such as
sneakers and trainers as well as more comfortable, less formal looks. In
addition, we saw many sports-inspired fabrics such as mesh being worn. The main
attention is always on the footwear when it comes to this particular trend.
Eye-catching sneakers were the order of the day with many trendy fashionistas
sporting awesome pairs of kicks (some by well-known designer labels).

| Mixing it up: from monochrome to florals and leathers - a definite variety of looks |
Funky fabrics were also spotted: these ranged from leathers
to prints and everything in-between. Leather is certainly very trendy at the
moment and fashion enthusiasts are rocking this fabric in items such as
jackets, pants as well as light overcoats. Other animal skins were also seen as
well as many animal-inspired prints. Fur accents are still big and can add a
bit of glamour to a look. In addition, tropical and floral prints were seen on
many funky dressers. Both guys and girls were seen in a variety of fabrics – no
gender stereotypes here!

The devil is certainly in the details when it comes to
Street Style. Attention to detail was seen on many looks. This included
metallic details coming out in the form of accessories or to add some bling to
items of clothing. An outfit would be elevated by the addition of some
well-placed metal accessories. This was seen in everything from buckles to zip
detailing to spikes. Other funky details spotted were artful rips in denims as
well as a variety of headgear: hats in all shapes and sizes were seen.

The ultimate trend message for those aspiring to be on-trend
street stylistas is to think out of the box: mix the old and the new and don’t
be afraid to take risks. Accessories are important and so is the use of
different textures and fabrics. Just like Flying Fish adds a dash of flavour to
their beer, #AddSomeFlavour to what you wear!
