Q: How would you describe your style?

Q: Where do you get your style inspiration from?
A: I get my style inspiration from my mother, friends, celebrities, blogs, fashion magazines, movies, decor & everyday life.
Q: What are your favourite fashion trends at the moment?
A: My favourite fashion trends right now include high waisted tube skirts & crop tops, Kim Kardashian is pulling it off so well lately. 
Monochrome is something I enjoy, it’s so classy & so easy to work with & is perfect with red lips. Chunky statement neckless without over powering an outfit.
Q: Who do you consider as your style icons and why?
A: My style icons include Victoria Beckham because she so classy & always looks so good regardless of her hectic schedule, her being a mother & wife. I also enjoy Blake Lively, she’s always so chic. Zendaya is quickly also becoming a favourite of mine.
Q: What do you think of where the SA street style scene is at right now?
A: I like to believe street style in South Africa is growing slowly but people are expressing themselves & are experimenting with different trends. It would be cool if “normal” people were given credit for their looks, too many bloggers are focused on the same people.
Q: There has been many urban clothing brands that have been established recently, do think there is enough support for emerging local brands?
A: I don’t think there is enough support for emerging local brands because I feel like they stick to one thing, often what they know instead of branching into different avenues & these people are so caught up in unnecessary beef that it’s not even about being creative anymore.
Q: What are you favourite urban/street style brands, both locally and internationally?
A: My favourite local urban/street style is definitely Head Honcho & International would be Supreme.
Q: Sneakers have become such an integral part of urban culture, which kicks do you think are the dopest out at the moment?
A: My favourite kicks at the moment are the Air Max, a few Jordans – loving the Oreo pair & of course Converse All Star.
Q: What do you love most about urban fashion / culture?
A: I love the fact that it’s easy to play around with urban fashion/culture, mix & match here & there & it can work for everyone.
Q: You are signed with Alushi Model Management, how has your experience in the model industry been and how does being a model tie in with your love for fashion?
A: Indeed, I’m signed with Alushi Model Management. My experience in the model industry been fun but so tough & tiring. Fashion has always come first to me, modeling just followed & I don’t link the two because as a model, you don’t pick the outfits you wear, It’s all on the client but being surrounded by clothing is always a treat & you learn what looks good on you, the items you’ve been scared to try out on your own.
Q: Who are you favourite models locally and interntionally?
A: My favourite local model is Lerato Moloi, she is beautiful. I look up to her & she’s helped & shared so much with me about this industry & she’s so genuine. She’s lots of fun too & has a funny bone in her. My favourite international model is Joan Smalls, she is so beautiful. I also love Kate Moss too, she blew up regardless of her height, she came back up after her drug bust & she’s just bad ass & I’m obsessed with her usual look.
Q: You’ve styled the ‘No Sleep’ and ‘Good Times Back’ music videos, how was that experience? What do you think of the standard of styling in SA compared to our international counterparts and is styling something you aspire to do professionally?
A: I did indeed style the ‘No Sleep’ & ‘Good Times Back’ music videos, the experience was fun but little tough as it was my first time styling & I didn’t wanna let Tibz down. I think SA artists should focus on the styling in their music videos as much as their music because they should be selling their viewers a dream of wanting a specific lifestyle. International artist always get this right, as you now see men wearing the shirt dresses that ASAP Rocky been wearing. Styling is something I aspire to do professionally & I’m looking forward to kicking ass.
Q: Any final words for our readers?
A: Have fun with fashion, express yourself but always feel comfortable. Love Love
