Suzi Roher, the Toronto based belt designer, created Swarovski’s newest one of a kind fashion belt.

The belt will be displayed at Swarovski’s showroom at the Rockerfeller Center in New York and will travel to various events around the country.

South Africa’s Black Coffee Collection Hits the Big Time

Black Coffee, a fashion label from South Africa, has beat out the competition within its continental boundaries, and is headed off to Europe and other parts of the world.

Black Coffee won Mercedes-Benz 2009 Award for Fashion by flaunting South Africa’s heritage through bright and contemporary designs.

The line was founded in Johannesburg ten years ago by Jacques van der Watt. In 2004 Danica Lepen joined the team, stretching the label’s collection. The newest collection features designs that specifically remind viewers of colonial Africa—think oversized helmets and mosquito nets.


“We have started using a lot of hand-dying, printing and beading methods,” Watt and Lepen said. “This gives each garment a unique, one of a kind, feel.”

In celebration of their accomplished label, Black Coffee will open a new store in collaboration with label, Love Jozi, in Johannesburg this September.
