"Thanks Snobz, so happy to be here"
AGE: 19yrs old

CITY: Johannesburg

OCCUPATION: LISOF Rosebank Fashion Student

MOTTO: Invest in tailoring. Fit is key.







My style is an Afro merger of femininity, androgyny, vintage and contemporary. Colour and print are the owners of my life, I literally buy my clothes everywhere and always make it a point to find great things during my travels. My cheap tendencies steer me toward hospices, markets, and 2nd hand/thrift stores. My favorite traditional stores, however, are: Urban Outfitters, Sowearto, American Apparel, and Aldo (great rings).







When I walk in the streets, and see someone/something cool, I do get inspired and think of how I could interpret that. More so with accessories, and nail polish. In terms of how I dress, I just wear what I like and hope I don't look like a fool [laughs]. 
 










I honestly don't think there is one specific item of clothing that could work for everyone, across the boards. Personally, a tailored pair of high-waist slacks never let me down. 
If I had to choose a favourite item in my closet, that would be like asking a mother of 5 who her favourite child is. My grandmother's my style favourite, she is always so well put together and that's what I aim to achieve. 












My never-go-wrong outfit would have to be high-waist slacks, a sleeveless button down shirt- that is buttoned all the way to the top and with the bottom tied into a crop; what I call granny shoes, and as many chunky bangles that can fit onto my wrist.









I would really love to have a crop top that is made completely from beads and embellishments, no fabric, just thread to hold everything together. I would love for it to be colorful and sparkly and for the bead placements to create a print. I just think that it would look amazing!
I'm really obsessed with the nineties right now, I'd love for my style to become an integration of the movies Clueless and Set it Off. But, at the same time, the series Mad Men is giving me an itch, and having the 'perfect lady' '60s look is also something I fancy.




My advice to you guys is wear what you like and what catches your eye. Make sure that you always feel comfortable and confident, clothes should never wear you. Go on blogs (lookbook is great), style.com, read magazines; educate yourself on what is happening out there, filter through them, and choose what you like. Above all, always wear something that fits you well, and suits your frame.
