Who said South Africa was a boring and a slowly developing country? Who said that our Fashions Week would never compete with the Paris, London and the New York Fashion Weeks? Whoever thinks that, I suggest you strongly reserve your comment and think twice before uttering a word!
Two weeks ago I attended a function in the township of Khayelitsha and later continued the celebrations at a Mzoli equivalent in the township- Kwa Ace.
Can I just say, I have never seen a fashion hub as big as what I saw in a Cape Town township? Hands down, (to my surprise) but Khayelitsha guys really know how to dress- in fact I just couldn’t stop the complements in gossip mode with a few of my friends- analysing every outfit. I could page through the last 6 issues of GQ and the first six guys in site would fit a style category for each GQ Style page.
I am quite happy, being a fashion focused chap myself that more men in South Africa are starting to take fashion and their looks seriously. Perhaps it is now time for me to start that fashion business idea of mine! Hmmmm. deep thoughts! Watch this space! Thanks boys!

ReplyDeleteAgreed Smouse! :) I absolutely LOVE how a lot of South African men dress. They truly take pride in their wardrobes, and you are a perfect example!
