What would you say looks good on a man?

Until someone redefines the little black dress and creates it for a man, I would have to say a power suite with a sense of humility. How would you define a gentleman?

A gentleman is a man who embraces all the confidence in the world, but still has the ability to make everyone around him feel like his equal. A gentleman is not created by the clothes, even a naked man can still be a gentleman.

Where have you been a model, in which countries?

In South Africa of course. Also Italy and New York City.

Who would you say is your favourite designer?

I can’t answer this question because I haven’t met all the designers in the world yet. Tiger of Sweden and Prada are some of my favourites

What are your future aspirations?

Well I hope to be able to walk in all the Fashion weeks in the same year. I would also like to own a business where I could employ struggling models and LGBT youth who get abandoned. And I also plan to start to use my Performing Arts degree that I worked so hard for.

What tip can you give men who want to be at the forefront of fashion?

Don’t do what has already been done. We already have suites and shirts and pants and we know they work; now we need something new.

What kind of preparation is required for you to maintain your looks?

I am very weird in this regard. I bath in green tea twice a week, and I also drink at least one cup a day. I also drink over 2L of water a day and I cut sugar and oil of my diet. Staying active is also crucial, I need to keep my body in fighting condition. And I also treat myself with something “bad” every now and then, because I feel my spirit needs it. If my spirit is happy it will reflect in my looks.

What do you love most about the fashion industry?

Goodie bags and free stuff at Fashion shows!!
