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....

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...

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 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!

vintage hip hop street fashion

I am not a big hip hop fan but looking back from where it comes from in terms of aesthetics and the music...Really hip hop has grown from street style to a world global trendsetter...

the likes of kanye west have created a good combination of the hip hop fashion, doing it old school with a great influence of contemporary fashion from fashion ramps across the globe.

now that is evolution!

No discrimination! hip hop is cool...

too cool... skin heads

Skinheads are visually identified by their short hair and unique clothing styles. Skinhead fashions have evolved since the formation of the subculture in the 1960s, and certain clothing styles have been more prevalent in specific locations and time periods. There are a few different types of skinheads in terms of style, but many of today's skinheads do not fit into one distinct category. Traditional skinheads, also known as trads or Trojan skinheads, adopt the style of the original 1960s skinhead subculture. Oi! skinheads — influenced by the 1970s punk subculture — often have shorter hair than 1960s-style skinheads, and tend to wear higher boots, tighter jeans, and clothing styles that are less mod-influenced than their traditionalist counterparts.
too cool... these Boys and Girls just love getting into a fight. So you are never safe around skinheads
