Get Your TWALA.TWALA On

Do You Dare...

As young Fashionistas, we are ALWAYS excited to see one of our own taking her first steps into the limelight. Model turned designer, Tawela Twala, is showing us how fabulous African print can be. With an exquisite modern edge, her clothing is not only a salute to Africa but a definite "Hello" to a woman's figure. Don't believe us? Take a look for yourselves...

On that "DND, I'm FIERCE & I'm busy" tip

Tshilz: The patterns are Zambian inspired. Where else can you find a battle of pattern, colour & texture and come out with an aesthetically pleasing silhouette? Afrocentric is alive & well people! Truly inspired by the people who make it, wear and have deep-rooted sense of self.

Afrocentric: "Emphasizing or promoting emphasis on African culture and the contributions of Africans to the development of Western civilisation".

If we are going to suffer the stresses of Varsity Life, let's do it in style! Bold silhouettes, bold colours and rich in heritage, tell us, who DARES question these bloggers (Tshilz & Mello) that African Fashion has no place in our modern world! Sitting pretty on Jammie steps, there's an undoubtedly symbotic relationship between the rich history of the University of Cape Town, architecture and the loud roar of African consciousness at play.
Keep your eyes open for leather skirts, shorts & pants -Twala.Twala designer featuring in her Spring collection.    

Being a Snob, is SOOO in this season! Afrocentricism is more than a style, it's actually a lifestyle from clothes, to hair to accessories to the type of food on your plate. So experiment, play with it_ it obviously works!







Fun Fact: Everybody involved in this photoshoot, from the models, to the photographers, dare we say it_ even the bloggers are in the Engineering & Built Environment Faculty. Brains and Beauty?! Who run the world... GIRLS!





Taking a break from being glamorous... There's no such thing hehe ;)

We don't know about you, but these outfits are mesmerizing and they are within reach... Literally ON CAMPUS! Our dear designer is doing Architecture at the University of Cape Town and she can make you any time-piece you're missing in your closet; EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU! Digging in your Gogo's closet is encouraged
