@marieclaire_SA and @SunglassHutSA, the leading retailer
of international designer sunglasses brands in South Africa,
have joined forces to bring world-renowned fashion blogger @bryanboy to South Africa.
Recognised for his witty fashion comments and
insight into what’s hot and what’s not, Bryan Boy will hand over the Best
Fashion Blogger Award at this year’s Marie
Claire Prix d’Excellence de la Mode awards in Johannesburg, as well as
conduct blogging workshops and store visits with Sunglass Hut.
“We are very excited to have Sunglass Hut involved
in bringing Bryan Boy to South Africa,” says Aspasia Karras, editor of Marie Claire. “There is no bigger name
in the fashion blogging world than Bryan Boy so we’re delighted that he’ll be
handing over our Best Fashion Blogger award at our annual fashion awards, and
that he’ll be part of two blogging workshops in Cape Town and Johannesburg.”
"Bryan Boy is the epitome of fashion bloggers
worldwide,” says Amanda Rich, marketing manager of Sunglass Hut SA. “Since we
support the local blogger community and recognise its impact on
fashion, it was only natural that Sunglass Hut SA should bring Bryan Boy to SA.
Bloggers are an instrumental and integral part of our communications mix and
since 2009 we have been supporting the growing community.
"As a brand that sits on the edge of
innovation, we have long since acknowledged the power of bloggers. A force to
be reckoned with, they no longer represent commentary from a fringe community,”
concludes Rich.
Bryan
Boy will conduct two informal fashion blogging workshops, one in Johannesburg
(30 August) and another in Cape Town (2 September) where he will share his tips
on fashion blogging and take questions from the attendees. For more information on
