Fashion experts gathered at the “old” Durban Club, now known as The Manor House, on 15 October 2009 for the annual Sanlam SA Fashion Week Summer Collection. Though the Durban Club used to be a gentleman’s club it was strange that this venue was specifically selected to host a show where beautiful models could be seen on the catwalk.

Among the fashion designers, well known Durban designer Francois Vedemme’s collection revealed an amazing range with his usual attention to detail, beautiful crystals, vibrant colors and textures all adding a modern twist to his garments.

Francois Vedemme’s collection consisted of 16 garments, each one individual and unique in its own way. The collection captured the audience, and was received with great enthusiasm and respect for his creative talent.

East Coast Radio’s Terence Pillay gave a great review about the show and nominated Francois Vedemme as his winner of the week…. “an amazing iconic designer who could show his ranges on any catwalk in the world…..London, Paris, New York…what an achievement for a local designer!”
