Look Of The Day - Theraflu

As cold as it seems, everyone is reaching out in their closet flooding their souls with everything they have to keep them warm. Winter is creeping in real fast, I decided to let the flow go with me & be me. Do you ya'll... With a bit of inspiration from Kanye Omari West of course! You need a Theraflu for this, no offence Kim ♥

What appears to be a gray scarf is a complete illusion & a half, with my bohemian sartorial senses i just grabbed a plain t-shirt, folded it nice & easy to make a scarf, i mean you all thought it was a scarf at first glance right. Some serious DIY shit :-)

Stay stylish, stay true to style... EARTH ♥

The Dark Gold Quest - Atong Ajork

Without a doubt, Sudan produces super-edgy models, long-legged with striking skin tones. It is amazing to see that each year there's at least one new face from Africa on the scene if not more. I was totally chuffed to see that recently there has been a stream line of African models featured in campaigns & editorials. With all of that being said i bow down to Atong Ajork, a beautiful sight to behold. Born on October 5, 1985 in Carlifonia. The Sudanese-American has been gaining momentum since breaking in to the scene for names like Lacoste, Heatherette, Diane Von Furstenberg & Phillip Lim. Atong is the definition if you know what i mean. Such luster of gold & diamond hardness ^_^

Stay true to style you lot :)

Friday The 13th - The Freak

SOME are wild at heart. Some are born to be bad. These dark heartened looks help unleash the ferocity within. Everyman has an edge, BUT WE HAVE THORNS. We are the pain & scare in fashion, rock star within, pockets full of dreams, we are Skinne Nation by the fashion community we built four months ago on this very same day. Our clothes have souls, style in our blood watching out for the vampires, hard rock in our bones... we worship FASHION >_<

Happy Birth day Skinne Nation, stay stylish & true to your selves :)

Johannesburg Fashion Week Review - Kim Gush

Africa Fashion International’s annual Johanneburg Fashion Week, sponsored by Mercedes Benz for the first time this year, kicked off in style with the Fasttrack day. AFI FASTRACK is a national fashion design development platform in partnership with one of South Africa’s top retailers Foschini that aims nurture and develop South Africa’s young design talent.  This platform offers young designers an opportunity to Fastrack their careers through intensive mentoring, business development coaching and mentorship for future success. After a successful first year, AFI FASTRACK is back and promises an exciting and improved opportunity.

Among this year's four finalists, Kim Gush's trend forward menswear collection made me cum, kidnapping the ramp & forcefully demanding the audience to give up & show their edgy side as ransom, flashing hints of a "post-apocalyptic-ninja" style it was called The Immortality Of Divine Rule and was inspired by the Chinese Terracotta Army.

 

 Kim Gush, a graduate from the Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design in Stellenbosch has the future and direction SA fashion in her hands, She's alive, fresh with ideas and has an amazing point of view. She will be showcasing her collection at the Mercedes Benz Cape Town Fashion Week in August.

I love her no doubt bout that, Skinne Nation stay real :)
