ZARA South Africa Recruitment*

If you didn't already know, one of the world's biggest retailer has set their sights on South Africa, and will be opening stores all over the country in a matter of months! Exciting, yes indeed. I have been looking forward to Zara coming to Durban, Gateway since I first saw the construction signs go up.

Yesterday, I found out that Zara is currently recruiting staff for their Durban store, and I simply have to be apart of this. My CV has been submitted! If you want to be apart of the Zara family, you need to send your CV off to benclo@mweb.co.za or visit www.benclo.co.za asap. You don't want to miss out on this opportunity!

What's your style???

If you have seen my previous post appealling for readers to share their Spring/Summer Style with Fashion by Brett Robson, this is the product of that appeal. I had hoped for more of a response, but I am hoping you will see this post and send me a pic or 2 of your Spring/Summer Style soon.

First up I have Sloane, a beautiful young lady with a funky, edgy sense of style. I just love this girl's hair.. Very cute!

Rocking the trends with her wedges & stripe dress!

Next up we have Lenice. I just love how fun this girl is. She just looks like someone who is keen to experiment with her style, and have fun with it.

You just cant go wrong with a pair of denims & a white top!

And last, but not least, there's me. I decided that this Spring/Summer I want my style to be a little more feminine. I plan on wearing lots of dresses, florals & wedges etc. First I have a simple day look. I am so in love with this floral you have no idea!

Dress: Milla @YDE

My accessories.

Next up is an evening look. Although I think this dress could be worn in the daytime with a pair of flats. I made this dress by the way :) I love these Aldo platform wedges. Im obssessed! I accessorised this look with wedges, and a leopard print clutch.

If you want to share your style, send me a pic or 2 via email - sinnbybrettrobson@gmail.com

Just Don't Miss Out!

John Galliano found GUILTY!!!

If you remember my previous post on Racism in Fashion, I spoke a bit about John Galliano who at the time had just been accused of anti-semetic behaviour. He had been fired from Dior, and even his own label John Galliano. Well, today a Paris court convicted former Christian Dior designer John Galliano of making anti-Semitic insults in a bar but gave him only a suspended sentence, taking into account his apology to the victims. Galliano, who didn't attend the announcement of the verdict, was given no prison time. He was given a suspended �6,000 ($8,400) fine, which means it goes on his criminal record but he does not have to pay it. He was, however, ordered to pay �16,500 ($23,200)in court fees for the complainants � three individuals and five anti-racism associations � plus a symbolic �1 ($1.40) in damages to each one.

What do you think of that? Do you think that was a fair verdict?

Personally, I think his behaviour was just disgusting. I watched the videos of his outburst and I was appalled. But at the same time, I think he has paid for his crimes in many ways. He has lost his name in fashion. Who knows if he will ever be able to come back from this. So perhaps that in itself is punishment enough.
