Ruald Rheeder presented his menswear Spring/Summer 2015 Collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Cape Town on 25th July 2015 in Cape Town South Africa.
Collection Inspiration.
With white and neutrals as a base, this season’s collection’s focal point lies in splashes of pastel colours. Built on a foundation of whites and spring shades of beige and gold, the pastels present the transition from spring to summer. This Ruald Rheeder collection included the introduction of floral prints for menswear while still holding true to the influence from tribal motifs and prints. Ruald Rheeder demonstrates classic tailoring, luxury and sophistication through this season’s use of over-sized items and layering. The focus for new Spring/Summer 2014/15 Collection is on simplicity and ingenious construction. 
Ruald Rheeder finds motivation in people from all walks of life. Drawing inspiration from architecture, shapes, textures and color, his designs focus on fit and form. Rheeder combines that aesthetic with his creativity to produce lines with an effortless and wearable appeal. The Ruald Rheeder label radiates style, sophistication and confidence.

The Cape Town Fashion Council presents all-day fashion shows at Design Indaba Expo, featuring the work of exciting local designers.
Organizers declare: Expect a bigger focus on fashion at Design Indaba Expo 2013 when 20 designers, all under the Cape Town Fashion Council (CTFC) umbrella, step into the spotlight with daily fashion shows at the DStv Events Arena on the Expo floor. This is twice the number of designers with ramp shows last year.
“Our collective of 10 designers achieved R320 000 in sales last year, double the amount made the year before that,” said Bryan Ramkilawan, CEO, Cape Town Fashion Council.
“Based on this successful showing, we have doubled our designer collective to 20 for Design Indaba 2013. This offers more of our designer members an opportunity to grow and establish their brands locally and internationally, at SA’s leading design trade platform.”
The 20 designers also get the opportunity to sell their products on the CTFC stand, which will take up a whopping 182 sqm alongside the Events Arena this year.
“Our designer umbrella this year features some of the most recognised brands in the SA fashion industry, namely Rosenworth, Craig Port and Thula Sindi.
As always, supporting and developing emerging labels is a key CTFC objective, so watch out for Adriaan Kuiters, Spilt Milk, Adam and Eve and Doreen Southwood.”
Entrance to the Events Arena is free with the purchase of tickets to the Design Indaba Expo. Tickets available at the door or at Computicket.

If you have seen the song Losing you by Solange Knowles which was shoot in Cape Town-South Africa then you will have to agree with me that the amount of style that is shown is massive. From the colours to the locations to the outfits themselves, Solange Knowles has shown that a super-stylish music video is also fun and hot and that it doesn't always have to be about the bootylicious :)
Styled by Ty Hunter and selected by Elle South Africa fashion director Asanda Sizaniwas, Knowles wears fashion by Suno, Kenzo, Diane von Fürstenberg Opening Ceremony, and J. Crew in the visuals^. In the video, the singer invades people's kitchens, barbershops and a tailoring shop, takes a 15-seater taxi like a normal Capetonian, goes bike riding around a neighborhood, and takes a dip in a community swimming pool. American singer Azealia Banks and designer Lizzy Okpo, one half of the William Okop clothing line and a close friends of Knowles, make sneak appearances in the video. Tamagni reportedly guided the crew while filming
Here's what Solange said about the experience of shooting the video:

"When Melina and I decided to film 'Losing You' in South Africa, we really didn't have a real firm concept in place. It was sort of a grab a camera and let's go moment. I knew I wanted to capture a couple things: the vibe of our friendship and all of the crazy escapades we've gotten ourselves into all over the world, and the abstract and elegant Le Sape Society (Society for the Advancement of People of Elegance) formed in the Congo which was documented by Daniele Tamagni in his Gentleman of Bacongo book.  We called Daniele to guide us, and some of my friends from New York came down to Cape Town and we all had a very damn good time."
