Lukhanyo Mdingi TOP 8 Finalist for Elle Rising Talent

Image
  I have to brag and say Cape Town is the best fashion city though, lol. I am excited to tell the entire world and the people that have not yet heared the news that one of my "choma" (someone you know but not really friends or close with) has been selected as one of the finalist for this years Elle Rising Star Design Award Lukhanyo Mdingi  I met Lukhanyo about a year ago through my late friend Monde (may his soul rest in peice) at CPUT as they studying together Fashion Designing. What a sweet, shy personality but one thing I have to give him is his fashionable sense. He lives to break boundries when it comes to fashion, simplicity but trendy.  ‘Yesterday, I got the call! I was in shock! I was literally waiting all morning for my phone to ring. I was over the moon when I heard Poppy Evans on the other end of the line. The feeling was indescribable.'   ‘The concept for my range was ba

Okay, finally I am able to share that I have been appointed as the Deep Settle Movement Social Media PR boy, stylist and also will be working on their new campaigns for their summer collection which they are working on at the moment. The reason I have chosen to be part of the brand is due to their understanding of a market that works for them. I love the brand as well of course but the honest truth is that the 3 guys who started the brand have work ethnics that I admire. Take a look at their Facebook page which I administrate and the T witter handle I have created. Deep Settle is about to go big and if you really love my work than I urge you to follow them on Facebook at Deep Settle Movement  and on Twitter  Deep Settle . This is the 1st Campaign I just finished for their forthcoming participation for the UWC Mr and Miss Fresher 2013. Come through to the event and also see my styling job.

CSquared Winter 2014 Preview Dinner

Last night we attended the CSquared Preview for their 2014 Winter collection showing  at the House Of Monatic showroom in Salt River and we were treated to a visual display  of garments from Carducci and Viyella . As we arrived we saw the designer for Csquared, Wayne running around the  streets trying to get all the people who were invited to the event and showing them where  to enter the showroom. I will not lie that we were also lost interms of getting in but luckily we saw Wayne.  We were served with either red/white wine or you could choose to start the night with  a Peroni beer or double Jameson. The fashion show was what we've come to know and love  about the CSquared brand which included tailored, sharpness exceptional and quality fabrics.  We were however pleasantly surprised wen we saw basic casual items such as knitwear which  would cater to the young professionals remembering a conversation we had with Wayne when  they opened their flagship store in

Review and Giveaway: "Gluhwein".

Review and Giveaway: Gluhwein : On Wednesday morning while preparing breakfast at Nonkies ( one of my bestie's) apartment at Upper East Side, I received a call from a courier stating that he is on his way from the Airport to deliver my review for Gluhwein from Original Cocktails. I have been waiting for this package impatiently as my close friends know how much I love my cocktails and wine. Original Cocktails is a company that makes "High Quality Ready Made Cocktails". As excited as I was I decided to host a little intimate dinner for our clique with the intentions of getting feedback from my closest friends about Gluhwein. While I and Nonkie waited for Anam to arrive and prepare dinner as I am still learning how to prepare rice, we decided to open the 750ml bottle as Gluhwein comes  in a 750ml bottle as well as a convenient 2 Lt bag in a box. The first sip surprised both of us as we expected to taste grape but suprisingly it was a
