If you ever wondered who the
man behind one of South Africa’s best luxury menswear retail brand FABIANI
looked like; how he dresses for his shows or what he did before presenting
his collection to the masses at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Cape Town SS12-13. Well you just witnessed it. He walks on the ramp
and ensures the setting is 100s and to see if all is immaculate as his clothing
line. And of course he also deals with the outside world though his Blackberry!
And he does all this looking FABIANI
picturesque! You just want to hang around and follow his steps to pick up bits
and bobs of swag drips that might flake off him with every ego boosted stride he
tackles!
I had an opportunity to chat to
him backstage about the collection, whilst the cameras where rolling for my Expresso
TV Show feature clip. Super chilled guy and eager to share his vision
and craftsmanship!
His name Arie Fabian founder (well
his dad was) of FABIANI. He is now the Brand’s Director at The Foschini Group
after the acquisition deal that happened late last year. Would love to know
what the deal here was, must have been some heavy documents and heavy figures
and a huge bottle of champers that were popped after the deal went down!
