Positive Heroes

On a positive, inspiring note to start the weekend, I want to share about Positive Heroes today. Positive Heroes is an amazing non-profit organisation that aims to educate and make people aware of HIV, their vision is to reduce the fear, misinformation, stigma and discrimination that still surround HIV. Positive Heroes consists of a group of positive and inspiring role models living with HIV that have made a success of their lives against all obstacles and they constantly strive to inspire other HIV sufferers and their families. You can read some of their stories here, they truly are incredible.

So to raise funds they are holding their annual Positive Heroes fashion show next Thursday at the recently refurbished Cape Town train station. A unique venue, gorgeous fashion by top designers and couturiers, a great entertainment line-up followed by a live auction of pieces donated by the designers,  I can't wait! Capetonians you can still buy tickets for the show from Computicket here, tickets cost R150 and all proceeds go to this fantastic cause, will you join me?!

You can look forward to seeing designs from Hendrik Vermeulen with Modern Design Jewellery, Stiaan Louw, Kobus Dippenaar, Hip Hop, Carducci, C-Squared, Malick, Scorpio, Maya Prass, Miss Port, X+O, Ruald Rheeder for Scorpio, Gavin Rajah, Viyella and Paul Van Zyl.

 

So that's next Thursday but the weekend still lies ahead, it's going to be a busy one, what with a friend from Germany visiting and a best friend's hen party! Hope you all have a fabulous and positive weekend!
