Yorr. These guys...

Originally this post was to be about the male radness I'd come across here, here, here and here. but then I got sidetracked and found more radness...

Here's how it went down: General coolness








Then when I saw the last picture I got psyched to find more of the dapper duo. They can barely contain the cool...

So here are some more of Shaka Maidoh and his partner in crime, Sam Lambert. Cant  seem to find out any more about them than that Shaka is a photographer/IT guy? But they are all over the street style blogs.I feel a particular affinity towards him because of his name. For those readers not in South Africa; King Shaka was the most legendary Zulu king like, ever. Born in the late 1700's he led his people into battle to defend their land aganst the dutch settlers.  He was a mean fighter. 

Random facts over. Onwards to more radness...






Then they reminded me of the coolness we have right on our very doorsteps... cue the Smarteez. A group of youngsters that brought township fashion to it's knees with their outlandish, calculated and downright bitchin style. Featured in/on many South African media they're heralded as the DIY heroes.

They showed thier debut collection at this year's SA Fashion Week. Packed, not surprisingly, with colour and prints.
