Lucilla Booyzen: Women of the Year Award!

Dynamic; tenacious; groundbreaking and modest are some of the adjectives that I would put alongside Lucilla Booyzen, who a few weeks ago won the "Checkers/Shoprite Women of the Year Award" in Johannesburg, South Africa, in the Corner Shop to Big Business Makers Category. Booyzen, who is best known for her work as the Founder & Director of South Africa's premium fashion week, SA Fashion Week, is a women that has empowered many a small, micro and medium sized enterprised business in the "New South Africa". Congratulations, Lucilla on your win!

Any chance that Booyzen would let us in on her life via her tweets; blog or FB page as some our other fashion players are doing? I.e. Bryanboy; Garance; Hanneli M & Stylebubble? Best V. 

Staying Connected!

 

A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail link from Danielle Armer, SAFW, as it relates to "Vogue & Black Faces". Here's the link to the review on Vogue having a magazine that's centered on Africa: http://fashionindie.com/did-conde-nast-reject-vogue-africa/?  Despite the incredible fashion and design options on the subject, I know that there's no way that it will happen. Dani, thanks for the link and best with the next phase of your career, V. Photo: fashionindie.com
