Spotted: Swaady Martin-Leke at Fabiani MBJFW 2013 Autumn/Winter Collection

I spotted Swaady Martin-Leke the Fabiani Autumn Winter collection. Swaady is one of Tutu’s Children. Tutu’s Children is made up of a network of inspirational leaders to tackle Africa’s problems. Tutu’s Children can be seen on Al-Jazeera. Swaady is also the CEO of YSWARA, a luxury tea company

Swaady had a front row seat and looked very beautiful. After the show, I had a short chat with her; she is inspirational in person as on TV. When I asked Swaady on the Fabiani collection, she replied: “the whole Fabiani collection was beautiful”. Swaady I agree with you!

Ruald Rheeder : MBJFW 2013 Autumn/Winter Collection

Ruald Rheeder was the second show I attended at Mercedes-Benz Johannesburg Fashion Week 2013. His collection was both edgy and sophisticated. He followed the autumn/winter theme throughout his show. His collection anticipates the winter season that lies ahead.

There were several highly desirable pieces in his collection, but overall I liked all of his looks! His collection included suits, fitted blazers, sleek jackets, tailored trousers and must-have coats.

Everyone in the audience whipped out their phones when the model came down the runway wearing a fur coat! My favourite piece from the collection was the gold suit.

Ruald used a sophistaced palette of black, grey, brown and gold. I loved how he used the fabrics (velvet, suede, faux fur, silk, wool, leather & lace) and prints in his collection.

Ruald Rheeder's collection is well-executed and takes most recent fashion trends into account. He is definitely taking men’s fashion to another level in South Africa.

Samuel L Jackson was spotted at the Houghton Golf club where he popped in for 18 holes. Looks like the Houghton Golf Club is a popular place for local and international celebrities!

Trend Alert: Dope swag clothing!

A lot of people say ‘swag is so 2012’ but guess what? They are right!!

Some of you might be shocked about the statement which I just made because blog is dedicated to the swag lifestyle.

Well, the reason why I agree with that statement and with the people is because I agree with them ‘swag is so 2012’. This year (in 2013) we are taking swag to a higher level - this year it is not just swag but DOPE SWAG!

One of the reasons why 'dope swag' is being used and not just swag is because we are using the word ‘dope’ more in society; for example have you ever had a person coming up to you and say: “hey, you have a dope haircut! Or you have a dope t-shirt!”

If you have experienced those incidents than I must say you left swag behind and upgraded to dope swag. I have posted some pictures of clothes which I found on the internet, that exudes dope swag!

So guys if people want to tell you that swag is for boys and class is for men, tell them screw you I am dope!

Till next time!
