[FASHION] Respect their hustle. Damn right!

I’m not going to pretend I’m a jeans-tee-sneakers kinda girl, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the look. And few are doing streetwear as well as the hotties over at Head Honcho.

The growing clothing label got much deserved props when it showed at Johannesburg Fashion Week’s Fasttrack Day (the day before day one). I wasn’t invited *flips imaginary weave*, but I hear they killed it.

AKA and Lulocafe provided entertainment, so you know it was a hot party. HH showcased a mix of summer and winter collections and one of their latest ambassadors, Khanyi Mbau took to the ramp. I’m not too sure how I feel about this collab, but hey, you have to respect their hustle, I suppose. She did look haute on the runway:

‘Honcho means a leader, a role model and someone who takes their destiny into their own hands. I believe that’s what appealed to those who like the brand,’ co-founder Nick Kaoma told City Press’s Mokgadi Seabi. ‘We target the mind-set, not age. That’s why this brand can be worn by a 13-year-old right up to working professionals.’

‘We had an opportunity to showcase our clothing and to show that we’re more versatile than people think. We have many items – from denims to cardigans and sweaters,’ he said.

Just browsing through the HH collections, I’ve managed to pinpoint some of my fave looks:

How cute is the long sleeve tee and the varsity jacket for winter? I’d so rock both with a high waisted skirt and pumps.

Yes, girl, I’d be side-eyeing dude for that fab cardie, too. But you’re looking great in that vest, though.

You can get your HH gear at Shesha stores (Rosebank, Melrose Arch, The Glen and Eastgate Malls) in JHB, PTA (Menlyn) and CT (Canal Walk) and HH headquarters at Pentagon Place, 62 Roeland Street.
