“It’s up in the air between Gert Johan Coeztee and Bam Collective.

The fact that he is bringing his London collection here and showcasing it,” she continued.

“I am really looking forward to Imprint. Imprint is always killing it with their silhouettes for everyone. I’m looking forward to it, I’m excited,” she continued.
