The South Africa Fashion Week was officially opened on Tuesday in the country’s capital, Johannesburg and is currently underway.

During the opening ceremony, award-winning designer Gert-Johan Coetzee, showcased his high-profile Summer Spring Collection at the Hyde Park Corner.

“I thought it was great! I love Gert-Johan Coetzee and he never disappoints, he had some outstanding pieces, especially towards the end, but it was awesome,” said one of the spectators.

This year’s line-up also includes collections from Rubicon, Urban Zulu as well as Africanswiss, who has promised a high-end look for both men and women.
