Marianne Fassler RESORT15 Collection

WORDS Malibongwe Tyilo IMAGES Paul Samuels

Legendary South African fashion designer Marianne Fassler has launched her new collection in great style, through a refreshing lookbook put together under the creative direction of Ben Eagle and one of South Africa’s brightest young stars in fashion, designer Rich Mnisi.

“The RESORT15 collection is a continuum of influence, but with freshness in its approach. Marianne Fassler RESORT15 underlines comfort, exoticism, relaxation and the brand’s unapologetic approach to maximalism. It represents the self-assured Fassler women,” explains Marianne.

Both the lookbook and the range celebrate the designer’s well-known (and loved) eclectic signature, an ethos that Marianne describes as, “same-same, but different”.

Existing fabrics are manipulated, ancient craft techniques are incorporated, and colours are explored, resulting in an unexpected juxtaposition with undeniable impact.
