ides himself in associating with only the best in the industry and delivers above expectation. He has conceptualised the SA Designer Collections, Cape Town Fashion Week and the Cape Town Flower Show. He has served on the Advisory Board for the Cape Town Routes Unlimited on Conventions and Incentives and the Events Advisory Board, the legislative body that is responsible for the tourism and marketing of the Western Cape.

Gavin was appointed the Launch Director for Tommy Hilfiger (US) roll out in South Africa. This resulted in him working in close collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger (USA).

He left this company to pursue bespoke projects, which he is passionate about. With this move he has resigned as a director of both Cape Town Fashion Week and Cape Town Flower Show, which he founded. He has consulted to numerous cities in the formation of their fashion weeks (Dubai, Stockholm, Shanghai). 2011 sees his company being appointed to design and manage the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix after parties and fashion events.

2006 heralded the start of his personal initiative; called “POSI+IVE” (www.positivecollection.co.za) to raise funds for HIV/AIDS infected children. Targeted, specifically, at children who have contracted HIV/AIDS due to sexual abuse. He launched this project in collaboration with British artist Craig Kilford with the intent to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS through the combined efforts of artists, fashion designers and the performing arts. Seal and celebrity international models headlined this event together with international designers. This event has been sponsored and adopted by Sun International. He has since enlisted the support of John Legend and Kelly Rowland amongst others. Today Gavin’s work is largely based on creative direction and bringing a new sense of aesthetic to client’s creative needs. His clients extend into Africa, Middle East, China and a large part of Europe. Most of all Gavin prides himself in delivering work, which exceeds client’s expectations, and is most comfortable working with clients that want to lead instead of imitate. He believes in long-term relationships and developing individual rapports with his clients.
