Photography






Street Fashion and photography for real.

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...

Choc (Cream Cartel)




 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!!!

Taj MaHal


Taj MaHal reflection on water...

I am fully moved by travelling these days, hence I'm reaching out to a couple of  destinations later this year in the beautiful sub-countries of Africa...

Through the scurvy essence of poverty lies laughter and indigenous beauty!
As usual I always have something to say about fashion "on the streets"
from an aloof perspective "Suraj" is wearing high waist pants, most beautiful design that came from the 1920's followed by double breast jackets... and over the years fashion has been changing swiftly. 
I cut and trim all my high waist pants to fitted slim silhouette to suit a more contemporary look.

 The aesthetics of this image evoke feelings of travelling and clear mind!

visvim Areni Folk (Green Fashion)



Oh my! tell me how nice these shoes are?
I already have an outfit for these... 

"An interesting new shoe has released this week from the visvim Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. The Areni Folk comes with a full Italian vegetable tanned leather upper, Buffalo heel hide cup support, natural cork foot bed and of course the necessary Vibram outer sole. Three colors of the shoe are coming to stores this week."

I certainly believe that this is a pair for the brave. Some would argue when I say these are amazing.
Well, considering the fact that they are made with natural material, I couldn't ask for more.
Climate change is having a serious impact on Africa and many parts of the world!
The use of natural and global friendly material is being emphasized, thus this is a good example of Fashion going "Green"

Masego Maps Maponyane




It's been a while since I posted anything on the blog... been getting my things sorted out!
Been to Cape Town for a couple of weeks, had a blast!
#style vibes

Masego Maponyane Student, actor, model, , TV presenter, entrepreneur and etc..
second palace in GQ's top ten best dressed South Africa 2011 at the age of 21 (youngest nominee on GQ ever)! 
son of the legendary South African soccer player Marks Maponyane!

I never got to do an opportunity to interview him but what I can deduce about Maps is that he is a friendly, humble, ambitious and stylish Gentlemen. Confident and knows how to dress for his body
So humble you'll never say that he is a son of a legend.

Maps says on City press interview

"I have already made plans to start a sports marketing consultancy, and clothing and personal styling companies. It’s a good way to combine all the things I’m most passionate about"



at the moment he's featured on this month's issue of GQ style south Africa
keep your ear on the ground for this guy.
too cool
