Johannesburg - It's South African Fashion Week and that means everybody is watching our local designers to see what they'll come up with this time around. One person who always shines, is master designer Gert Johan-Coetzee.
Always conscious of spreading a message through fashion, this year Gert used his A/W16 collection to raise awareness about the global shortage of water. "We're experiencing the worst drought in 23 years and we have to start paying attention."
And boy, did he get ours. Here's how he wowed us at the Ferrari showroom in Bryanston for day one of Fashion Week.
