Authentic African street style


Africanism at it's best... 
Just when I thought I wont be seeing any floral shirts, they had to a photo shoot on the dessert
very nicely planned, gave life to the dessert by placing live flowers, enhanced the image brought the concept to life. You wouldn't say this was done on a real dessert. 

The power of art brings anything to life when it is executed..
I love this concept, out of the city and embracing nature. 
The color pallet for this shoot is so relaxed, natural #primary and secondary have been employed to give you that relaxed, warm and welcoming feel.

As a stylist this is a Job well done.

Color is Everything



Just as we all thought we can finally say goodbye to color blocking which has been trending for the past three   
seasons. Style is eternal fashion trends change every season but style never fades. 
More people are beginning to realize the importance of knowing how to dress their body, These stylish Afrrican men made me jealous for a moment. 
I'm fulfilled when I see such looks! 

Incase you haven't noticed this right here is food for the eye. You have to agree with me Africans are catching up with style.... (food for thought)

My wish is for everyone to start dressing good and stop criticizing, but not everyone is into fashion.

Fashion Fades, Style is Eternal.
Too cool African Street Style

Street Etiquette





these boys clearly know how to grab my attention.
I was mesmerised, and overly astonished when I found out that these two boys,
Global Internet fashion street style G's from the well popular blog street etiquette are just in their early 20's.

They've won loads of awards for their blog, including GQ awards and a features in some popular magazines in the UK

I feel inspired when I hear and see such hard efforts being acknowledged by worlds great fashion houses.

were I come from an average 20 s0m3thing year old is still in school trying to figure out their purpose in life.
This evokes the thought of believing in yourself, do what everyone is doing yet knowing what only you can do it better.

It is a fact that you are one in a "Krill lion" [ice age three]

the are loads of style blogs. We as style architectz acknowledge that but the can only be one in a "krill ion"

Good Images, good style

Got these images of Manthe [stylist and talented dancer] on tumblr.
This is a someone I can really give a style architect award. Talk about Vogue Africa standard.

Nothing compares to women who are smart, great personality and STYLE

Style architectz are people who dress for the occasion yet maintain their standard..
Too cool.

Uncle Cool Cat






Uncle Cool Kat music video.
Gives us a glimpse of Soweto lifestyle...
Car drifting is a sensation all around south Africa and if it happens you have a BMW 325, spin that thing...

No formalities but a communal lifestyle is highly highlighted in this music video...

 Images from music video (siyasebenza)
South Africa's rising Phenomenal Hip Hop/Rap artist Uncle Cool Kat!
Been listening to the song all weekend. 
I must comment on his style of music, very different to commercial hip hop sound. A bit of traditional African beat and tempo.

To me this is the dynamic hip hop artist SA has been waiting. He never conformed to the standards set by others instead, went for something way different and got us dancing!!

Local hip hop boy with a taste for style. Laid back hip hop culture look. Baseball sweaters, cool cap with a touch of leopard print, baggy jeans and vintage Loyd shades. 
Great media exposure coverage will certainly influence some kid out there passionate about hip hop and making a name for themselves.

Can't wait to hear his full offering!!!

I am in love with prints, and there are no prints that compares to african prints.
These girls Know how to get the look right. A mixture of African prints and Modernism 

I like I wish to see more of these looks on the streets..
