Designer Tiaan Nagel’s autumn/winter collection is inspired by Japanese architect Tadao Ando and Johannesburg’s urban forestry. This is the critically acclaimed collection Nagel showcased at SAFW AW12. The structural shapes and minimal detail had us all eating out of his hand as Nagel gave what was one of the season’s best shows. Here are the images from the new campaign:

I came across the Marion and Lindie S/S 2011 campaign whilst browsing through international fashion photography site Touchpuppet. Shot by Jesse-Leigh Elford, the images have me swooning!
In a recent interview with iFashion, Danica Lepen, designer behind the brand, described her philosophy: “I think it’s really important to be aware of the trends, but I don’t think one should be too trend focused…if you’re buying something it needs to have longevity, to last through the seasons.” For me, this statement captures the brand’s S/S collection perfectly – I can’t wait for it to hit stores.

Coats; herringbone, plaid and quilted. Shearling, tweed and even vinyl. This was the spirit of the Burberry Prorsum Menswear Fall collection in Milan at the weekend. Head designer Christopher Bailey is clearly a coat lover, but then again, don’t we all want a Burberry Coat, huh? Here are a couple of looks I selected from a range of pictures.
A collection grounded in the aged old Burberry brand heritage. Not terribly exciting, but a Burberry coat will do for me, too
