The lovely people over at Voila! magazine included a little feature of me in their latest issue. Alongside a fantastic store called Loom (in Parkhurst) which stocks some pretty great menswear including Comme des Garcon. To download the magazine go here.

THE UBUNTU PROJECT ON EXPRESSO

Stiaan Louw and I appeared on the Expresso show on Friday morning. Yes, it was as early as you imagined, and yes, it was just as nerve-wracking too. Luckily we got Liezel Van Der Westhuizen, who I adore, to interview us on the Ubuntu project. And the best part was I got to meet Bob, the shows french bulldog who came to Bok Friday all dressed up too. 

We discussed (briefly because of time constraints and the fact that it was live T.V) the Ubuntu project and what is to come for the three designers in the coming three year plan. Errol Hendrickse from the project calls his plan a new heritage brand which infuses arts and crafts into high-end design. Essentially resulting in more local manufacturing and distribution and jobs! Imagine if we invested back into local production instead of importing?  Laduma for instance would be bringing mohair back into the trade industry that is currently harvesting in the Eastern Cape, but on a larger scale. What will it all be like when Zara and other international brands land on our shores? From what I've heard they will be exporting everything to us, ready to sell. Not exactly helping our local manufacture and distribution. 

For the show, three of Stiaan's looks were shown by Boss models Eric Bester, Richard Boliter and Calvyn Wright. Eric, of course, you may remember from Stiaan's 6 series. The shoes and accessories were provided by Missibaba with Ida Elsje jewelry (yellow antique bead and leather necklace). 

WE-ARE-AWESOME FEATURING... ME.

Andrew Berry snapped a picture of me on the streets last week and followed it up with a little interview for his "Fashion Faces" page on We-Are-Awesome. You can catch fellow blogger Maketh Man, among others, on there too. This is a good place to start if you want to know the who's who of fashion in Cape town. Click here to take a look!

"MY STYLE" IN MARCH ISSUE OF GQ

It feels odd posting this enormous photo of myself on here but I figured why not? At least this way my overseas relatives readers can see it too. When GQ called me to arrange a "my style" shoot I obviously obliged and I had to start thinking about what my favorite look was for that time. I'm not used to being that side of the camera. Initially I had a few ideas but decided to keep it simple and practice what I preach!  Luckily I don't put my poor hair through all that drama anymore. The shoot was shot by Marguerite Oelofse.
