Distinguished fashion designer, Marianne Fassler, has a unique style which combines high European fashion with exotic African flavour.
Her work can be described as amusing, timeless, wearable and feminine, with Marianne paying particular attention to not only the style and quality, but also the feel of the fabric.
Woman and choice
"Fashion is about choice," she exclaims, "people will only wear what they want and unless you are a serious fashion victim — women will dress to please themselves".
Marianne also believes that instant fashion is obsolete the minute it appears in store — copied from garments shown on the ramps months before. So, instead of following fashion, Marianne encourages her clients to develop their own personal style and to mix and match garments.
"I love to see how the right garments give women confidence," says Marianne.
Africa is also a constant source of inspiration for Marianne and is the creative core of everything that she creates.
So what's in store?
Of her showing at this year’s Fashion Week, Marianne says the show will be, "anything but minimalist".
Her range will be identifiably, almost vintage 'Fassler', with all its attention to detail, prints, finish and silhouette.
"Fassler at best is about being very contemporary as well as totally timeless," says Marianne.
Garments are in a range of fabrics and styles and include evening wear through to day wear. So be sure not to miss out on Marianne Fassler's collection at Fashion Week.
