nnekbone: 5centsapound: Born in 1977, Nontsikelelo Veleko lives and works in Johannesburg. She is a highly original photographer and project manager/co-coordinator at the Market Photo Workshop, where she previously trained in the art of photography. In the last couple of years, Lolo has been gathering a great deal of attention with her striking work entitled Beauty is in the eyes of a beholder.  The fashion world, like any of the arts, is an important way to see how a society likes to portray itself. The commentary from the Guardian mentions the way “Africa” is often incorporated into fashion around the world, with a focus on the historical markers of various African cultures. But when places like South Africa are bringing their own culture into the modern era after a long period of oppression, it is educational to discover how they choose to do so. South Africa is free from apartheid, but it isn’t free from the winds of world politics. And all of this shows up in something as seemingly “insignificant” as joberg’s fashion week. The use of color, the choice of cut, the pick of fabric- all of it is a part of a conversation about where they are, and where they’ve been, and how they see themselves in the world. qt via lapcouture Street style from Jozi
