The V-Fashion

Fashion changes but style endure

Kehumile (20) student

My style is simple and casual that’s how I usually look, and I’m most comfortable that way. I don’t plan anything really, I just wear clothes that are comfortable and nice. I pick out anything I see in my wardrobe which is good enough to be worn and wont disappoint me in public (laughs)...like I said simplicity in clothes is my specialty. I really love bright colors, but the most common colors you will most definitely find in my wardrobe are cream and white. I would say fashion is a reflexion of my personality in a sense that what I wear says a lot about the person I am.

I like the attention I get when I’m looking good...so I would say my style is 'out there' and trendy. Minnie Dlamini is my style icon, she always looks fabulous like ' wow' every day, she carefully picks out her clothes according to her body figure, and she is beautiful. Do I plan my outfit? that is entirely dependent on what I would be doing or where I would be going,  for a  specific or a special event  I am required to do some planning, for anything else I just wear something that looks good on me. My favorite colors are peach and lime.  Fashion for me determines your personality, it also says a lot about your background.

My style is an adaptation of what I usually see either on the television or other sources of media, and I try to incorporate that with my personal style which always looks spectacular and extraordinary. Besides the media itself, a guy I know from Mafikeng, he goes by the name Loago inspires my look...he blends so many styles in just one look”. My outfit plans itself'. Red is the dominant color in my closet. Fashion for me is being unique, standing out and dressing extraordinary.

My style is a classic look infused with vintage style. Bonang Matheba and Minnie Dlamini are my fashion icons, simply because they always look classy and sassy, and their looks have no limit. I color coordinate, theme for the day must be established the night before which makes it easier for me to select my clothes. My favorite colors have to be red and black, I must say navy blue is the dominant color 'in my wardrobe' right now (laughs). Fashion for me identifies your personality, it’s a mixture of style and color in an artistic way.

My style is punkish, vintage and swag. Wizkid is my fashion icon, he has a unique way of mixing different styles in one look. Can’t get out of the house without looking good (giggles), so I plan everything I wear from top to bottom. Three colors are dominant in my wardrobe, red, black and white. Fashion for me defines my personality, and it's something that should be taken very seriously like a job (laughs).

Our style is inspired by the Sophia town vintage look. Our style is different, you can say it’s unique and it grabs attention. We actually like the whole Scoop and Malume cool cats look, it's very interesting and different. The mood is very helpful when it comes to planning or choosing clothes for the day, weather also plays an important part. We like Floral Designs and Aztec Prints. Animal prints are our favorite then red, black, blue and white, those are definitely our colors. Fashion is self-expression. Fashion has its own personae going on tats how we see it.
