Day Four of SA Fashion Week drew to a close with two collections that were polar opposites. It highlighted the diversity on offer at Fashion Week yet also showed that there are designers out there who are by no means afraid to push boundaries.
Roman Handt showcased a collection that divided the fashion community more than any of the collections on show this season (including the womanswear). His range was incredibly daring - drawing on S&M imagery and medieval-inspired torture equipment. Questions arose about the wearability of his range which we thought was ironic - if a collection is too daring it is shot down as much as one that many may consider too boring. It will be interesting to see how the clothing on view will translate into ready-to-wear.

Palse took a chance this season and put aside the geometric motifs we have come to expect from his collections. It was a very smart move. The colour palate moved away from his signature black and white and introduced pastels both in plain fabrics and florals. The traditional suit was thus transformed. We loved this take on menswear - particularly the floral suits. Awesome stuff!
