Urban Class

This has been the most exciting shoot we've done this year...

Ever Since the rise of Izikhothane (A South African youth Subculture of young men who wear expensive clothing and consume a lot of alcohol just for fun)

I have forever wanted to do a shoot with them just to show that the love of clothes or rather the love of style unites regardless of how expensive or in-expensive a person is worth.

To us style has no colour or race...

Style is a is a form off Art we use to express ourselves

Embrace it. Live it. Celebrate it....

Sartorial Savants

 

 Its been a over two years since Mphela and I met at a fashion show in the East of Johannesburg (Ekurhuleni)...

We've become good friends ever since and have established a great working relationship.

Over the past two years hes been asking me to do a shoot at this field with an abandoned colossal shack which seems to be someones old home or maybe a a church (nobody really knows what went down in this shack0) and to be frank it's a very nice place to take your mind off things..
At the time the idea was proposed to me, I felt that the concept was colossal and i needed to empower myself so  i could use it to my best ability..

well if you a perfectionist like myself you'd understand that prior, preparation and patience is the mother of all best results...

we began working around the concept in December 2012...
simple and straight to the point, we needed a look that'll embrace the atmosphere and we like what we did!

Africa has great locations to offer and this is one of them

African street style is what we stand for:
Style is on point ; Grand Father shoes, Blazers from Johannesburg Markets, Garfield ties and brown shorts Sartorial Savants of our regime.

This is only the beginning.
Thank you for your eyes.
