When Night Comes

I’ve had a really strange couple of weeks. My body gave up on me a little and then I was misdiagnosed by a Doctor which resulted in me spending 3 days in hospital. It’s really bizarre how much of an effect your health has on your general state of mind. Needless to say I hit a bit of dark patch, but that’s what life is about right? Anyway, I did this Mood board when I was stuck in bed – there is so much beauty in these images. Also, MEG FREAKING MYERS. Take a listen, her voice is my Spirit Animal.

Gold Creatures feature: Michael Wright

Gold Creatures catches up with Drummer and Back-up vocalist for South African Rock Band, Zebra & Giraffe. Mike (or Wrighteous Mike, as he is fondly known) is possibly one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. He’s super talented, humble and has amazing tattoos. He joined the band in 2010 as their keyboardist, but in 2011 moved over to Drums has been killing it ever since. We chat to him about his personal style, his tattoos and band life.

Feeling Floral

If you live any where near Cape Town, you will fully understand why, on a day like today, you will need something bright and beautiful to lift your spirits. Go away rain!!

Editorial Debut: Marie Claire Spetember Issue

Eeeee! I haven’t been this proud or excited about something in a long time. This month I make my designer debut into magazine editorials with Marie Claire. These shorts were just a tiny piece from my 7 Look graduate collection (Class of 2013, FEDISA School of Fashion Design) called The Bone Collector. The editorial is beautifully shot by one of my favorite photographers; Kristin Lee-Moolman. Check out my full range below.

Spring inspired

Spring is just around the corner. I don’t know about you, but with todays gloomy weather, I’m craving crisp blue skies, light sweaters and an afternoon mojito out on the lawn. It’s not only the feeling of spring that I’m craving, but the colour. Yay for pastels! What is it about Spring that inspires you?
