Uncle Cool Cat




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!!!

What was Africa




Photography by Shibia Huizer (London) 
Oh! How I love these pictures....
In my life as a fashinista, stylist and former fashion design student, I have seen but a few fashionitas playing around with color and loads of layering!
Most of us designers and fashinistas play it safe when it comes to our everyday look, we avoid loads of layering whatsoever, but I must say though that less is more.
I admire this girl, in both looks she was able to pull them very beautifully!
I love her use and choice of accessories,color combinations: shirts, skirts, yellow and orange socks and the Nike sneakers! 
I believe this is a beautiful reflection of "what was Africa" in a contemporary way

The African style is =  color and loads of layers; I am talking of your accessories, dresses, skirts and tops!


Jamakazi Pearl Chwayita: 
stylist designer and founder of the most amazing vintage boutique in Johannesburg "Fruit Cake"
Jama is a True reflection of "What was Africa"
I love her style to bits; a good combination of Vintage Out of Africa.
This is a beautiful image.. I love the aesthetics of both the image and the style presented!
If I was a girl, I think I'd be looking more like her...
beautiful purple dress, and beautiful yellow accessories with a dash of green
