South African fashion duo invited to Paris to show off their collection
The two South African designers behind the fashion brand ERRE have been invited to show their collection to the Kering Group in Paris this September!
We all know that when it comes to fashion, South Africa has its own style, which breathes both originality and boldness. So when it comes to the brand ERRE, the founders, Carina Louw and Natasha Jaume, have recently announced that they have been invited to Paris in September.
"The founders of Erre have been invited by Share Africa, in partnership with a luxury fashion company, the Kering Group (think Balenciaga, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, etc), to participate in their spotlight on African design venture – Africa Fashion UP," MSN reports.
They will be showcasing their collection entitled, 'Home', just ahead of Paris Fashion Week. What a fitting name for a collection that represents the beautiful and bold colours of our country.
Some of their designs incorporate one of their favourite fabrics, South African Fibre-Mohair. With their bespoke and signature creations, we are certain that they will do us proud.
They will be presenting their collection to the Kering Group, which includes the likes of Balenciaga, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, and more.

With this collection, we wanted Home to remain true to our core yet embody the inherent resilience and humour of South Africans in facing the odds thrown at them.
We have also drawn on our unique floral heritage to inform our bright colour palette for this collection, which is also a symbol of promise for brighter beginnings and a celebration of our ‘Mbokodos’ (rock-solid) women of South Africa. As always, our garments will be beautifully constructed technical pieces that provide strong statements for women of courage and hope.
We love the way she put it when she thanked Africa UP for this amazing opportunity,
"The opportunity to take our brand and share it with the world is incredible, and we are excited to present a collection that embodies our spirit as a people and new world order in refined power dressing for women." (MSN)
Their vision brings in some essence of spring and also caters for the spirit of the Unshaken women, which has been our theme this Women's Month.
