DOUBLE BREASTED JACKET AND SHORTS? YES, PLEASE!

HOUSE OF OLE AT SA FASHION WEEK SS12
At Ole Ledimo's SA Fashion Week showcase last weekend, the designer sent two of his models sashaying down the runway in shorts paired with a double breasted jacket and sandals. While a lot of people have said to me they didn't like it much for me it is the one look that has stuck in my mind ever since. It's part of his spring-summer 2012 collection and yes I do imagine myself dotting around either Durban or Cape Town in shorts and a nicely tailored double breasted blazer as I take in the cool summer breeze that- with what seems to be an early winter in Johannesburg- I predict we will miss very much over the next six months.
