Summer 2010

‘I believe in the ultimate victory of faith, hope and love in a world full of conflict and destruction. Faith, that most human of emotions, manifests itself in many different forms throughout the world, and even within the lifetime of one individual. I believe we each are protagonists in a great human drama and it is in our daily choices, large and small, that we contribute on one side or the other in a continual struggle between good and evil, forgiveness and revenge, mercy and ruthless power‘.

Faith, Hope, Love is the escape from the oppression of the modern world, the rabbit hole to something better, something purer. In the city re-imagined, the summer collection 2010 celebrates the virtues of the human soul in simplicity and class with a twist of the modern. Our planet is in dire straights: from economic dissolve to ecological disaster. We have all entered into the global consciousness, an acute awareness of everything around us. Faith, Hope, Love is a celebration of that awareness, that commitment to survival, and that strength of soul that makes us human after all.

Beneath the banner of these ancient and holy virtues, the twisting phantoms of today are banished, and in their place emerges the quintessential, the angelical.

Faith’s purple is interwoven with Hope’s green and the black and white shade’s of Love in this modern tapestry. From summer days in shorts and drop-crotched trousers to the paneled sunset suits, the collection slides effortlessly between casual comfort and slimmer sophistication. This summer Craig deals a double coup: the launch of his underwear line and his shoe collection by Watson.

Craig Port combines his summer 2010 collection with Miss Port by award winning designer and newly appointed creative director for Miss Port, Kim Govaars, who has generated a decade of local following and demand from astute and fashion conscious women across the country.

This is the summer to give it all up again on a chance, the summer to believe and to see the sunset. This is the summer of Faith, Hope and Love.
