About a year ago, we started planning the arrival of our first booklet which would highlight style within our culture and how we can use style to relay the stories of the past in the present and hopefully use those to combat misconceptions our culture in the future. The booklet was a 16 page booklet (starting at the front cover to the back cover) and there were only 10 copies made. Through this we learnt a lot about planning and conceptuality because we want people to feel as though they can relate to the certain hardships and to create an authentically South African brand that addresses not only how we're seen through how we dress but also how South Africa is seen through it's practises.
There is so much more we need to learn about Art, Fashion, Design and Photography but slowly we're moving in the right direction.
Kunyaka ogqithileyo siqale ukucwangcusa incwadana yethu yokuqala, ncwadana leyo ikhankanya indlela ekunxitywa ngayo kwi siko lethu nokuba ndlela leyo singayi sebenzisa njani ukuzalanisa izinto zamandulo nezangoku kuze sikwazi kwazi ke ukususa indida ye siko lethu kwi kamva. Le ncwadana ibi namaphepha alishumi elinesithandathu (ukuqala kwi cwecwe eli ngasemva) kwakukho nje incwadana ezi lishumi ezenziwayo ezifana nale. Ngo ku safunda lukhulu ngoku ncwangisa nokuxela kuba sifuna abantu bazive bekwazi ukuzalana nama xesha anzima athile bakwaz ukusungula into yoMzantsi Afrika ubonwa njani xa kufika kwizithethe zawo.
Kusafuneka sifunde lukhulu ngeZobugcisa, limpahla, ukudweba nokuthwebula imfanelekiso kodwa ke kancinci siza sizakufikelela apho.
