The Fabiani Fall collection, at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Jo’burg last night, practically embodied the word “Gentleman”.

Dapper Models strode down the ramp wearing the Fabiani F/W 2012 Range. The Key Item of the Show was the Coats; showcased in many different lengths, ranging from single- to double-breasted and made of various fabrics ranging from wool suiting and velvet to leather and houndstooth. Ankle Grazing Pants were another Key Feature, making sure your Socks are visible and match the colour of your Bow-tie or Tie.

Reference to Colour-blocking was made although they were slight, our favourite being these Two-Tone Navy/Neon Yellow shoes and the Pink Laces in the Brogues.

From the Contrasting-Colour Tipped Blazers and Tailored Trousers to the Collared Shirts with Bow-ties this was certainly a show with a Great “Modern Cavalier” Vibe.

The range was well Accessorized with Thick Framed Glasses (So, get your Geek on Gents), Walking Canes, Hats, Briefcases, Bow-ties, Ties and Scarves. Smart Shoes were the choice footwear, mainly focusing on the Brogue while, Loafers, Short and Mid-Calf Boots also made an appearance.

However great the Gentlemen looked, the Show-Stopper had to be the Gorgeous English Bulldog that was walked down the ramp wearing a “Swag” Collar and Leash.

All-in-All, Winter 2012 will be the Perfect Time to bring out Your Inner Fabiani Gentleman …
