Weekend Special: Fashion designer David West’s first store opens its doors.
Fassie, the indomitable diva of South Africa pop, on her 1983 hit “Weekend Special.” It’s a line that could easily be applied to South African fashion legend David West, who disappeared from the local fashion scene 6 years ago.
Fashionistas who’ve missed his trademark combination of conceptual wit and fine tailoring have reason to celebrate. David West is back! His new venture? A David West store, aptly called Weekend Special, that trades on weekends from no.304 Albert Road, in the Woodstock “art district.”
Created in collaboration with production designer and long time David West model, Elmi Badenhorst, the shop pays homage to its Woodstock location by using materials from local junk shops and architectural salvage yards.
Plus don't forget to visit this Saturday to get a free Ice-Cream upon arrival!
