#SCHICKMAN: ZOTHILE LANGA IS OUR SOLO MAN

IamSCHICK.com — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 16:50:37 +0000

Our #SCHICKMan this week is award-winning South African rapper Zothile Langa, popularly known as SOLO. From stealing the spotlight with his girlfriend of over six years, actress Dineo Moeketsi, to killing it on the style scene, like a true fashionisto, SOLO always comes correct. The Johannesburg-born and raised musician knows how to dress for any occasion, be it red carpet or the gym and under his quiet, reserved personality is a man with an expressive sense of style. Having always been the alternative man of fashion, Solo has created a style that isn’t easy to duplicate and isn’t the latest fashion trend, but it’s distinctly him and impossible not to notice.

NWA-MULAMULA: LOBOLA ’19 BY RICH MNISI

Tinuade Odutayo — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 10:49:14 +0000

South African designer Rich Mnisi has released his 2019 lookbook called NWA-MULA MULA which translates to “looking for mother”. With his Grandmother as his muse, the designer says he draws inspiration from the African mother and her attributes as the cornerstone in the family.

Making use of bright colours and experimenting with patterns, Rich Mnisi describes his inspiration with the following statement: “In the spirit of imagining an ancestor into existence, this is dedicated to my artistic muse and the place where I draw inspiration – I sought to imagine her into existence, through a daydream of her role as a matriarch set against the backdrop of a Lobola ceremony… My pieces reflected highlights of colour, textures, gifts and prints that are reminiscent of this daydream; symbolic of the packaging that transports me back home…”

He is a good stripper while on stage

When the music or dance gets to his soul he gives us a Cardi-b stripping moment, Thanks to his Godfather “FELA KUTI” for that inspiration.
