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

Shoes


I Love This shoe and can you believe  I only got it for R60/$6... 


Now this is something you don't get to see on the streets... I'm one lucky young man, came across these in town and I never hesitated!! R320/$32


This is where I keep all of my valuable items... I respect my shoes!!


My beautiful Buck... you gotta love this american beauty!
I recommend this to every guy out there..
I buy most of my shoes at second hand stores or markets! If you want quality, style, class and all that take a tour to a market or second hand store on our neighbourhood. 

I love my shoes... they define who I am, as much as what I wear them with!
This is what I do before I get dressed. I choose my shoe first and then the rest will follow!!!
The shoe you wear can compliment or kill your out fit! so cautious when picking shoes! 

when you go shopping always wear the shoe you most likely to wear with the item you want. eg. when buying a pair of jeans wear the shoe you going to be wearing it with! 
(people don't take this shopping tip seriously, hence they struggle to get dressed)

I hope you jotted this down, and good luck!!!

Sam and Shaka


Sam Lamberet - Designer of Ozwalt Boateng!



Shaka Maidor- www.artcomesfirst.com


I've always been wanting to know who these guys are. I have rebloged about them a couple of times
Lately my research has been doing it self , unasked questions answer themselves.
me being in Cape Town has actually opened my mind to a lot of I've been thinking about..
I like these guys style and vibe they've created around the globe.
A friend of mine worked of with Sam last year on African fashion week for Ozwalt Boateng's show, one of the leading designer on men's bespoke fashion...
I've got a dream and it has to come to pass.

I am a lover of men's fashion and I really find it hard to do women fashion, though there's little to do with men silohoutte, however there's something subliminal working on my mind! Blame it on these guys

Concept store



                                             An extension of who I am


I have only been to Cape Town for a week now and hey I must say it is a beautiful lace to be in more especially the city. I've always heard people talk about about the diversity here and well I am experiencing it myself... I've got a dream to open a boutique someday. I believe that the only way for me express myself is through a boutique...



 Boutiques are known to be an extension of who someone is and it's one of the ways to see how many people love what i love!!! Been going around town, fro boutique to boutique! and all I can say is wow! Yesterday I found myself at the Blue Blood (love for jeans), talk about a jaw dropper! I am into men's clothing hence in every styling job I get I prefer styling man... the blue blood boutique/concept store got me thinking.. we launching Solomon's Colonnade wear soon. A collection for both male and female, keep your ear on the ground!!! followed by a crazy concept store... I am really motivated to work extra hard!!
