FASHION STATEMENT

How he tells his stories by showcasing his fashion and dress sense

by GEORGE LUKERU

Mthokozisi Ndlovu was born and raised in Thokoza, Khumalo Street, in the East of Johannesburg. People know him because of his dress sense and how he displays his style of fashion through his mannequins. People from his location come to him for advice on how to dress for different occasions but mostly parties.

Mthokozisi works as a window dresser and styles the mannequins at his place of work and that is how people got to see his dress sense which is different because his fashion also tells a story about where he comes from. From the kind of vibe he is in to how he feels. It is not just what he wears but what the clothes say about him.

"Some people

have that desire to

imagine themselves as

someone different"  

At his place, Mthokozisi has mannequins where he showcases his style and what is trending for that week or month. Whenever you drive or walking past his house, it gives you that art feel when his displays are out.

His type of music

Mthokozisi listens to alot of kwaito, Inspired by legendary Kalawa Jazmee executive, Mandla Spikiri

Fashion

Mthokozisi is inspired by himself and the people he meets

Word of advice

“Go to school and learn more about fashion designing. Without inspiration you won't have that strength to risk, in the way that people can notice you in terms of what you're doing and how far you aim to go in life.”

For all those fashionista’s out there, take a page out of Mthokozisi’s book.
