Last Night we attended the Avant Show at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Joburg.

This dynamic brand is powered by design duo Lauren du Plessis and Bailey Alison, both LISOF graduates. Avant’s current focus on the young female trendsetter is just the starting block for these two designers, never failing to live up to their principle of pushing the boundaries.

The colour palette of this range consists of soft nudes and pinks contrasted with stark black.

Key looks include a long-sleeved, figure-hugging mesh mini with cut-out detail, a black plunge neck draped jumpsuit as well as a cropped melton jacket with exposed zipper detailing.

The collection is graphic, boxy, linear, uncomplicated and clean and was created within the constraints of clean, simple, neat lines with hints of tailored components, as well as a generous helping of form and shape suggesting a futuristic influence.

The Designs are undoubtedly a juxtaposition of definite form and shape within the loose confines of drapery. Superb attention is paid to fit and finishes, with fringing and fitted displaying predominantly in the collection.

The brand intends expanding into menswear in the near future ... and we cannot wait to see what they have in store!
