STREETS...

Daniel Moleka, founder of RedThread Apparel, said good morning to the world at the Fashion Street Show in Cannes, writes

What was your biggest highlight of the Cannes festival?

My biggest highlight was definitely the show.

I was really pleased with the fact that everyone there appreciated the craftsmanship and the hard work that was put into the Immortal collection.

What did you learn about the fashion in France?

Fashion that side is completely different.

It’s the top of the industry, the beginning of fashion. They look at every single detail and thus motivated me for the future and helped me gain more knowledge about what’s important when making garments.

Who were your best designers who showcased and why?

The designers who also showcased were JMH and Fabrice Zaady Sullivan. I had the chance to talk to them and exchange a few words, which were very instructive.

What can people expect from you after this?

What people can expect from RedThread after this is that I’m now going to be working with Issa Leo on a collaboration of our two brands.

I’ll also work on the reproduction of the collection and I’m also going to work on the next collection because they’re inviting me to showcase again next year.
