Location, Location, LOCATION!
Hidden behind the metropolitan facade of town, lies a colourful fairytale laced with cobbled roads, conservative folk and your imagination. This hidden gem signifies The Rainbow Nation in its exciting colour scheme, all round smiles and open-ness to expression. A plateau of fun under the sun, we decided to share this unique wonder with you.

In keeping with the spirit of Heritage Day, we chose the Bo Kaap because of its deep-rooted history and sense of community, as we all know communities are made up of individuals, so we sought out to portray the idea of the individual as a 'trend'.
Say Hello to the individuals...
There is this unwritten fashion folk tale that says friends tend to dress alike. Like I said this is a folk tale... okay maybe to some extent people may appear the same but is that not why we have accessories and detail? After all the devil is in the detail. We'll let the pictures talk...

Leather brouges, leather jackets and leather bags
Leather is here to play
Jerseys 1, Leather 2
Her bag is soo BADASS! Bags are actually being adopted and taught the individual's character these days.
Uhm... I'm torn up about my torn jeans (wink wink, nudge nudge). This actually happened during the shoot, the things we do for you guys! LOL
Death by child model! "Chill, I got this" swag
Colour & Print. If it's not obvious by now then I don't know. Patterns can emphasise your body shape... in a good way. Plus it's a great way to get noticed. I'm really feeling the leather pants (clever prediction from Tawela Twala : Get your Twala Twala on)
Even though winter is over, light weight jerseys still have a place amongst the Snobz this Spring. Leathers 6, Jerseys 6. It's a TIE
Yep! I've got game, model on my arm... Okay she's a friend but STILL!
Number One trend this Spring, and for life, INDIVIDUALITY! If anything, what we want you to take away from this post is that Fashion is a piece of iconography that expresses the individual. Prints, patterns, cuts, colours, materials,accessories... these are ALL weapons at your disposal. Get familiar with what's in your arsenal and show us who you are.
