Arise Africa Fashion Week: Heni

Posted on Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 9:57 pm

South African designer, Heni fuses the softness of white with stripes and patterns for his casual pieces. This softness is juxtaposed with the black voluminous pieces, layered in intense ruffles. The collection’s strength lies in its rich texture and the creativity in his cuts.
