ANELISA MANGCU

‘Her retro accessories, braided undo’s and brave use of colour make everyone who sees her ask themselves, “Who’s that girl?” Well she is the 20-year-old photographer whose debut solo exhibition ‘The moments amidst the chaos’ we attended last year. Along with the stylish media personality Siyabonga Ngwekazi, Anelisa is also the co-founder of the men’s style blog Perfectly Tailored. She co-hosts Threads, which is an online series about South African fashion and style. Her colourful, eclectic style is inspired by African textiles and 1980’s street style. Now you know who she is.’

LILY KWONG

‘We were excited to hear that Lily would be coming to Cape Town to experience the city, and write a report for Pop Africana. The 24-year-old model and muse from New York once said: “Individual style means dressing with conviction. Confidence has the power to transform a look.“ And what Lily wears, she definitely wears with confidence. She has been photographed for Vogue US, and worked for the likes of Dior, Proenza Schouler, Zac Posen, and Joseph Altuzarra, who happens to be her cousin. A permanent fixture right now at fashion events, she also studies urban studies and sociology at Columbia University. Welcome to South Africa, Lily!’

‘I come from a very conservative background so [fashion] is a way for me to express myself.’ So says the Zulu Princess Magogo’s great-granddaughter. We love Toya’s style, her music and her edgy hairstyles.’
