PRIME COAT
If there is one must for
your winter wardrobe,
it’s a good trench coat,
for rainy days or just
an added layer to take
your oice gear to the
next level. Whether
you prefer a classic
Burberry beige,
or a bolder check or
tartan, a statement
coat is essential.

JERSEY BOY
Scarves are great
to keep the chill of
your neck, but if the
weather gets too
chilly, it’s best to carry
a jersey. Wrap the
arms around your
neck like a comfy hug
and layer over a suit
for extra warmth.

mix them up. Pair

choice. From boots,
to brogues or

MIX IT UP
Want to get into the
business of wearing
suits? Start with
at least three:
a classic charcoal
or navy, then go
for something
with a pattern like
windowpane or
check. Finally,
throw in a colour
– this way you can
interchange the
components. Wear
the check waistcoat
and trousers paired
with the navy jacket
and so forth.

KNIT PICK
We don’t sufer
through harsh winters
here, so often a full
three-piece suit isn’t
needed. Rather layer
up with a textured
knit instead of
a traditional shirt
and tie, and be daring
with your suit choices.
Find a colour that
works with your
risk-taker knitwear
and statement
shirts and go for it.

and a poor-boy cap.

Try a knitted

warmth. Invest in

HOW YOU KNOW HIM:

Fashion influencer,
model and stylist.
HOW HE DEFINES HIS

PERSONAL STYLE: ‘A way
I announce myself without
having to speak.’
WHAT MOTIVATES AND

INSPIRES HIM: People
and cultures. ‘And, most
importantly, the work
I do as a benchmark
to constantly improve
and do better.’
WHAT HE LOVES MOST

ABOUT SOUTH AFRICAN
CREATIVES: ‘The way
that they’re making
waves internationally
and retaining an
African aesthetic.’
SION
For some, style isn’t just a mindset they adopt when getting dressed,
it’s how they express themselves – and how they make money.
Meet nine South African creatives who’ve made style their sustenance
John Scott
@johhnyscissorz
YOU KNOW HIM AS:

Johnny Scissors,
the professional hair
stylist and barber.
HOW HE DEFINES STYLE:

‘It’s about being
comfortable with
yourself. Wearing
something that makes
you feel good and
that reflects who
you are. Whether
it is a haircut or an
outfit, it should look
effortless when worn.’
WHAT MOTIVATES AND

INSPIRES HIM: Others in
his industry, as well as
everyday people on the
street. ‘Hairstylist’s like
Adee Phelan and Kevin
Luchmun produce
amazing work and I’m
constantly looking to
social media for new
styles and techniques.
A busy city can just
throw together a huge
mishmash of people’s
different interpretations
of style.’
WHAT HE LOVES MOST

ABOUT SOUTH AFRICAN
CREATIVES: ‘They are
constantly pushing
themselves to show
STATEMENT
new work and ideas.
You find that our
creatives not only take
inspiration from what’s
going on in the rest of
the world, but they’re
also able to mix that
with inspiration from
African cultures to
produce really
beautiful work.’ >>

@brrrogers
COMMUNICATION’
HOW YOU KNOW HIM:
He’s a marketer, model
and TV show host.
‘I connect the right
people with each other,
in order to facilitate
relationship and
business growth.’
HE DEFINES STYLE
AS… Something anyone
can have. ‘Style is
personal. Style is when
you look at someone
and go, “Holy shit,
they look great!”’
WHAT MOTIVATES AND

INSPIRES HIM: ‘I’m
deeply interested
and invested in political
discourse in SA. I’m
an extremely vocal
radical left-wing citizen
of this country. We are
a beautiful democracy
in action.’
WHAT HE LOVES
MOST ABOUT SOUTH
AFRICAN CREATIVES:
‘That we don’t have
the resources that
creatives internationally
have, so we have to
be smarter and more
creative with our
communication.’ As
for specific people?
‘Nakhane, Rich Mnisi,
Manthe Ribane, African
Ginger, Desire Styles,
Thabiso Mjo and
many more.’
Seth Shezi
@seth_shezi
WHAT HE DOES: ‘As

a lifestyle strategist,
my job is to creatively
connect lifestyle dots
in a way that adds
value to both the brand
and the consumer.
The dots range from
brand and trend
consultation, writing
and creative direction.’
HOW HE DEFINES HIS

PERSONAL STYLE: ‘Style
is a form of edited
drag. How I dress
is how I choose to
express myself to the
world without saying
a word, and the style
component is how
I choose to edit
said expression.’
WHAT MOTIVATES AND

INSPIRES HIM: ‘Two
things: the spirit of
the unrelenting quest
for quality keeps me
motivated, and my
younger brother.’
WHAT HE LOVES MOST

ABOUT SOUTH AFRICAN
CREATIVES: ‘They are
innovators. The South
African creative space
has finally realised
how far from Europe
or America it is, and
stopped borrowing
references and
looking from within,
so everything currently
is brand new, and
without a blueprint.’ >>

WHAT SHE DOES:

INSPIRES HER: ‘I believe
‘THERE IS SO
in big dreams and hard
work, so having short
and long-term goals -
MUCH POWER
whether viable or
not - always keeps
me motivated.’
WHAT SHE LOVES MOST

ABOUT SOUTH AFRICAN
IN CREATIVE
CREATIVES: ‘I love the
fact that South Africans
are open to sharing
their own lane and
COLLABORATION’
creating bigger things
together. There is so
much power in creative

define my style as
urban. It’s really that
fine line between formal
and streetwear.’
WHAT MOTIVATES AND

INSPIRES HIM: ‘Working
with global luxury
brands and the digital
landscape in general.
Watching the world
progress and being
able to evolve with it
is really exciting. Also
seeing South Africa
collaborate with the
rest of the world.’
WHAT HE LOVES MOST

ABOUT SOUTH AFRICAN
CREATIVES: ‘I love the
fact that they are not
limiting themselves to
only what South Africa
has to offer; they are

HOW HE DEFINES HIS

PERSONAL STYLE:
‘I only ever dress for
me. I have a healthy
obsession with socks,
shades and shoes.
I like to keep an eye
on trends for work,
but when it comes to
my personal style,
I take risks and always
have a statement piece
on – something that
makes me smile and
that I can carry with
me each day.’
WHAT MOTIVATES AND

INSPIRES HIM: ‘Positive,
happy people.’ And
about fashion lately
in particular? ‘The
bold new direction it
has taken - it’s crazy
beautiful! That people
can just live and
express themselves
however the hell
they feel keeps
my juices flowing.’
WHAT HE LOVES MOST

ABOUT SOUTH AFRICAN
CREATIVES: ‘They
don’t have unlimited
resources and support,
yet at fashion week
I sit there amazed at
the passion and pride ‘PEOPLE CAN JUST LIVE
that goes into every
piece. The sky’s the
limit and I’m excited

to watch them soar
even higher.’

WHAT SHE DOES:

‘I’m a photographer,

HOW SHE DEFINES STYLE:

‘It’s when you present
yourself to the world
with a deliberate
consistency. When you
adapt to trends without
losing the essence of
what you believe looks
good on you. It’s taking
care of your garments,
so they can in turn take

on you.’

Change is important as an artist
and in life in general – change
is critical for growth. If you stay
stagnant, there’s no growth
anymore; there’s no challenge,

why I love racing so much –
it really forces you to look at
things and experience things
in a diferent way.
