During the fourth Klein Karoo Klassique which takes place from 9-12 August in Oudtshoorn the Jamstreet Farm hosts 4 shows amongst them the first for the festival namely the Chic Classical Couture Fashion Show. ” We want to combine classical music with couture and fashion and add a creative show to the festival,” says co-owner of the Jamstreet Farm, Danie du Plessis.

Four different collections will be on the ramp. First OUR WARDROBE, which is South Africa’s premier, on-line, luxury fashion store, offering ladies unprecedented access to borrow or buy local and international designer wear.
