August was started in January 2009 by Robyn Victor. After studying Graphic Design and Advertising in Cape Town and a course in Fashion Design, Robyn went on to work for 3 years designing for a big retail house before starting her own label. August aims to provide a relaxed approach to clothing combining timeless pieces with diverse elements. Globally inspired details add a worldly touch.
"My inspiration has always been drawn from travel and the array of cultures one is exposed to. This notion of cultural inspiration is actualized through the clothing I make. I feel strongly about rediscovering traditional hand embellishment, utilizing these techniques as much as possible within my designs. I love the haphazardness of hand beading, the texture of hand embroidery, and subtly mixing designs that are simple and feminine, using soft and natural fabrics. August is not trend but rather lifestyle - orientated, its a label for seeking your essentials and aiming to create relaxed clothes that exude an elegant edge."
Elegant, classy, sophisticated and a real show-stopper, this gorgeous leopard print maxi dress from designer August is made from 100% silk chiffon. It boasts a matching habatai silk (100%) slip with mesh trimmings, as well as a matching sash. This exquisite dress cant help turn heads, with its unique design and regal length. Perfect for special occasions, be it dinner parties, cocktail parties or even a romantic evening out, this dress makes all the statement needed, which makes everything else, well, quite simple really! With its extremely flattering low v-neck and sash around the waist, this dress emphasizes the better features of the female body while draping the rest with striking fabric, helping distract eyes from any problem areas. Paired with either heels or a pair of pretty sandals, this dress still looks cover page chique, which is great news for tall women trying to dress up without adding to their hight. With simple accessories, this bold dress will bring out the modern day cinderella inside every woman with more ease than any fairy godmother ever could!
