Wrangler's New 'Greensboro' Fit!

Wrangler is proud to introduce a signature fit from their 2014 Winter range – the Greensboro fit. Named after their spiritual home Greensboro, a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina, the fit marks the direction of the brand and the new “Standard” – ensuring a key fit for the quality and casual style.
The fit is regular in the rise, with a higher back than front to offer a comfortable yet modern look and feel. Through the thigh, the fit is regular for comfort and a trim look. Key to the Greensboro’s look is a slight taper from the knee to the bottom hem – giving the impression of a slimmer leg, for a modern standard fit.

The Wrangler new fit Greensboro is available at Stuttafords Stores.

Red Colour for Winter!

Red is the most dominating colour for winter which excites so much mainly because we’ve gotten used to the most neutral colours for the cold season, so it absolutely feels great welcoming a trending bold colour that I’ve seen on the runways and on red-carpets (pun intended there..) Red screams boldness, greatness and a fashion enthused individual who’s willing to play around the palette as a canvas by also toning it down with surrounding neutral colours for instance your beige chinos. So no more winter greys and browns – well not to completely ditch them, but it’s always intriguing welcoming a new feel and trend to the most “boring” season specifically when it comes to fashion and its laws. If the Spring/Summer season was all about bright yellows, oranges and baby blues (don’t you just miss these colours, they bring a smile to my face by just writing about them.) then winter is having a slight twist and delves through another frontier with an inclination of introducing red and many other unusual colours for this cold season. Red predominantly has darker palettes of black, grey and navy having differing shades from the prominent blood –red that we all know of; this provides exciting hues of the colour such as b urgundy and an energetic lift to winter-induced blues.

Fashion Week || Laduma Ngxokolo - MaXhosa Knitwear #MBFWJ

Mercedez Benz Fashion Week (Johannesburg) has come and go,  and we have seen every trend and every designers perspective through their collections for A/W trends and how these should be articulated. What I admired wholeheartedly so at this year’s MBFWJ was the impeccable precision when it came to detail, The patterns, fabric, textures, the ambiance and just the general feel  on how the show pans out.  And one designer who fitted all this in was  Laduma Ngxokolo for his Xhosa patterned brand:  MaXhosa Knitwear. The splendor and spark of this collection certainly left a mark on South African fashion, specifically on the menswear side of things.  It’s quite evident that Ngxokolo’s collection were top-noch due to the positive feedback it has received right after its showcase, I for one went nuts when I first had a look at the images on Jerri Mokgofe’s blog .

In his words – “ My jouney into Maxhosa by Laduma knitwear started in 2010 with a thirst to find knitwear design  solutions for amakrwala  (Xhosa initiates)” The vision behind the brand can be encapsulated in a way where Ngxokolo used his love of Xhosa bead work, patterns, symbolism and colours to create suitable Xhosa inspired knitwear for Xhosa initiates..  which has now changed into creating designs admired by people of all cultures and races.

How ironic that I’ve been writing mainly of Xhosa-Inspired work  as of late. I love my culture!
