Firstly fashion folks we'd like to apologize for last Friday. We know we didn't keep up and fill your fashion appetites. But well, this week we back and back with some VA VA voom.
StylearchiveZW caught up with Bulawayo's own renowned stylist, Welshman Sibanda and we were more than ecstatic when he agreed to feature on this article. So we got right on it and this is what came out.
Being a stylist, I thought it best to get to know his personal style first and this is what he said :
"My sense of style is mainly retro infused with African wear.Im a bit laid back and l believe it all originated in the past thats why l prefer vintage.Bringing African in it ,marks that lm an African original.lm content being African l love my mother land."
Vintage and Africa. That's one combo I really got to respect and this gentleman always manages to put that extra oomf on it. To be a successful stylist, I'm sure he's worked with so many designers but well we needed to know his favs and this is what he said :
"Best designer locally is Annie G. Gonyora and internationally is David Tlale...l see myself in that level few years to come."
This fashionista really plays with the big guns. Really great designers. We then got to my favorite part where I asked him to give us a definition of STYLE for a dictionary and this is what he had to say:
"Style to me is believing in yourself and turning a blind eye to the negative critics and be different in everything you execute.Being creative and innovative is part of the equation on putting your pieces together"
Longest definition I'm sure but getting it from the expert, who would dare argue. We then asked for some fashion advice since summer is on the doorstep and this is how he gladly gave us:
"Advice, since summer is around the corner always keep fit, go to gym and tone the muscles."A healthy body carries a healthy mind".
Mmhm there you had it folks, let's get jogging for that healthy mind
