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.
