Products and positioning
Draping is the signature of the label. Rather than conventional tailoring, Honiball shapes garments by manipulating fabric on the body, at times breaking the drape up in a fragmented way. Collections have also explored cleaner silhouettes alongside these sculptural techniques.
Her Spring/Summer 2013 collection took the life span of insects, especially moths, as its concept and paired an unexpected colour palette with shoes by the South African label Robyn & Roxanne. Pieces singled out from her ready to wear include black, draped trousers with a curved leg.
- Draped, sculptural womenswear
- Concept led seasonal collections
- Ready to wear trousers and separates
Why it matters
Honiball belongs to a generation of South African designers who use craft and construction, rather than print or logo, as their calling card. For international buyers and editors looking at African design talent, the label represents the experimental, technique driven end of the market that has been nurtured through South African Fashion Week's emerging designer platforms.
