Portraits.




Township Games: Um'rabaraba



The Great Gatsby.......Africa

Kabelo Kungwane and Thami Mashinini bring back a summer look inspired by the Great Gatsby.

Politicians That Inspire.






A lot of our style came out of this era, this period in history. The Black Consciousness Era.

It came out of that period where the Black man decided to take Black pride back from Colonialism...where the Black man demanded respect, not only from other but himself too. The era where the Black man took pride in his appearance.

400 years of Black Slave Ancestors picking the cotton but not wearing it. How times change.
 These were one of the few men that inspire our style..Martin Luther King Jr, Dr Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X. Steve Biko and Patrice Lumumba.

How I wish I had been born earlier so I could have gotten the chance to take these pictures.

The Art Of Manipulating Empty Spaces.


Black And Tan.

Black And Tan Part II: Wanda Lephoto x Kabelo Kungwane


Creativity is really something else...funny this style was inspired by a vision Kabelo had when he saw the umbrella he is holding, then came the wall we had been seeing in the city and finally the clothes, yes the style came last. Black and Tan is what we had been seeing and finally it was all executed to fine detail. That's our Black and Tan :)
