SAFW SS22 COLLECTIONS | MEKAY DESIGNS NEW TALENT SEARCH 2022

Mikhile du Plessis is the name behind MeKay Designs. ‘We strive to create a lifestyle of creativity and to add reason to the quality of life through our designs,’ says Mikhile. The brand has a sense of 'fast-fashion' in terms of keeping up with trends and is ready-to-wear but has a strong sustainability process by using organic fabrics, working in a minimal waste environment, and redesigning new items from old garments. Mikhile creates garments to enhance a woman’s figure and selects fabrics that tell the story. The SS 22/23 collection is called Aikaterini. The collection has a quirky use of elements such as Afro Pop, resort wear, and a sense of romanticism. Each look has a story, and this shows how patterns express our emotions. The emotions create a story of how a girl evolves and how she is exposed to stages in her life that creates a woman, called ‘Aikaterini’ the Goddess. https://www.safashionweek.co.za/mekay-designs Video directed by Competent Artistes
