ON THE RAMP WITH MANGALISO L KABULIKA

Fashion can be considered an unapologetic way of expression, and for this young duo its proving that perfection is a disease of a nation ,all you need is just your uniqueness.This week I'm focusing on Trills Tait Maduwa and Jahseh Meza who are both photography models for West Trends Online Store .

What I love about them the most is that they are young and fresh and their style speaks the street trends ,and with only 3 years of them in the industry I see a great future for them.

The young duo on the rise is a force that everyone should be wary of as their style is also on trend in amongst their age .Trills and Jahseh as they want to be identified, are inspired by the love of clothing blending it with their own style and creativity hanging on the aspirations of Chris Taylor and Nairobi_West_Nicuur in a bid to become a blue print of their generation.

The 16 year olds ,are signed up at Western Trends Online Store which provides them their fashion pieces. As of now the greatest predicament they face is people misconcepting them as those kids who are after fashion battles .The duo also finds the represention and acceptance of male models in the industry as something treading on a rocky ground but it has never triggered them to put a halt on their careers as they aspire to become one of the most acclaimed duos in the modelling industry worldwide.

For bookings and a little catch up on what's new in their style and perhaps securing a date ,look for the duo on social media :

STREET WIZZ BY MANGALISO L KABULIKA

Styling is simply combining what you own and knowing the colour combinations and blending. It doesn't require one to have whole bank balance just to drip of swag ,just knowing where and when to put on your stuff is very important.

Many people think winter doesn't require much styling since most of our body parts will be in hibernation so to say lol but it's just wrong. This week we focusing on the illustration on a white model in the street and I'm going to give you an estimated cost of what he's wearing basing on the prices found on the street as y'all know this is street wizz therefore everything is defined by the street.

The model has taken a Grey coat ,as we all know grey is the winter theme colour and it has to be slim fitting not oversize .It is always important to wear clothes that perfectly fit you not too tight or oversize for your body is meant to be celebrated and let the clothes reign upon it.The scorch shirt is blending with the white T-shirt inside I love how he has arranged them both I even too never assumed it could be possible. The white T-shirt is providing a balance in the colour sequence and gents as I always tell you a white T-shirt, a black and a pink one yes pink one are a must have in your wardrobe and they have to be plain.

To topple it up he has added a summer warning that's the ripped jean as you can see its ripped on the knees section which is okay for winter. He has completed his look with a nice pair of tennis shoes to give it that more casual look and feel even in winter .I'd recommend this on a visit to a friends place or just a casual date and it presents you as smart ,simple and casual.

GREY COAT -15-25 (USD)

SHIRT-5 (USD)

T-SHIRT-5 (USD)

BLACK JEAN -15-25 (USD)

TENNIS- 10-20 (USD)

Prices may vary due to area and these are a combined estimate basing on the street and areas we explored.
