in her full cost, she tackles issues that matter to young african. yeah, we don't shy away from asking difficult questions or controversial topics. bring it over d w y. how about taking a few risks, you could even take a chance on the la rearing to ah, don't expect to happy ending literature list under german ah, the trend that appeals to me, new home owners in south africa as modern farm living. and today's space reflects the just that monahan farm where the vision behind the architecture is respecting the environment and celebrating the scenery that is thumb the app re max can give

the hide as we bring you to day. so deep dive with us into this artist as he moves between foam and digital bringing us his view of the world. matthew ro, gunbar 1st hit the international stage with his bow tie phenomenon, but has since been carved out of fashion house that is uniquely his own. and later we check in with activists and you tube sensation knows it barely bombgardener my yarber who turned a dire situation into a positive. and by doing so has inspired many i am parallel tiger and you're watching every megs move ah, ah, ah. monahan farm on the outskirts of johannesburg is

a $1300.00 acres space that will only develop 3 percent of the lat. this leaves the rest of the land in its natural state and undisturbed, creating a sense of belonging for home owners and for a beautiful view of the landscape. but before we move on to the nitty gritty part of the house and how this farm address this sustainability, let's visit kenya to see how one woman's vision enables the detailed work of crop, then to move into the latest must have accessory our bags a carry, everything we do is 100. there's no machine. erica, cause known for her concept store in nairobi, has since 2020 brought new hand crafted luxury bags on to the market. wanting to work with leather. she had collaborated with moses a creek creating the 7 different bespoke handcrafted bags. i came

up with a carry the hand crafted leather bags because when i looked at the market, i understood that i wanted to make a bug that will speak of the african continent. without going deeper, i evolved becoming a designer because i was working with a true kind of women for roughly 2 to 3 years. and i like there, the weaving. so the weaving is very different from other puts in kenya. with here we are, we are they a workshop? erica here is of every and this is like a sim business relationship where it works perfectly. we work in how many bug going it is a bug to make the bug. you inquire materials, are there right material? well, you know kind of where your bug, but when they get that material,

i come with it. then i apply the die. isolate the material, then i start doing this teaching go cutters, and mom was teaching joy in go in and buy these material from the tanai. it's usually these color and then to come to me, i try and make it look appealing. i applied the die, you know, then it becomes like these in anybody i mean moral to makes me happy and gives me hope to see that acutely appreciates what i do for her. it can make me want to improve on this product and get him cleaned as yet he, this piece of metal is used to support in the edges of the material after us to to so this is like the finished product where we'll do the other liver to hold these are the beadwork is done by them of fi people,

then he's going to make the p a day. the punching as you have watched earlier than that to the teaching and then it comes to these products. so that is role that is almost done. then you get here, you can see them. ok, this is almost done because the, the kaufman has cuts them. but these process is the most difficult. so we said it takes a lot of days because can do that. we have a mold, but to have a mold reuse of culture is. so it's old culture is before we part. and then it becomes a more everything you've honeyed on you, linda, sun, white luxury because it's somebody's sweat and in everything is too detailed me. ah,

the collection is for ever, but also at the same time, my bug was created for the people who are cultured there a week. and if you want to keep the tradition for themselves, as you can see, take the roughly 18 days to finish the collection. yes, it's basically a piece of home anyway, go and the fact that it's made in canada, mexico more with it and it's, it's quite quite interesting and quite african and i can way to the anything. my favorite aspect is the face, right? the face looks like it's going from a traditional aspect of storytelling to the future. that's my most favorite part about it creating days it's, it's everything i work up in the morning. i slip with it. it's constantly not just

having very constantly new mind. like what relate to prove, what am i missing fashion and function, my absolute favorite, and that is what every max is all about. the new generation shaking out what creativity is all about. we try. c to keep god to visit design, matthew regard to see what he is all about. one of the things i'm trying to do right now is to create the dress code for the modern african men. matthew gamba has changed how many men view fashion in wonder. the classic clothing silhouette that he create in latino sky reflect on the path and shape the presence and fashion. when i started, the idea was to court to, to, to create that bridge between you know, traditional west formal where and african formal where i'm trying to trans what,

what is it, what would it look like? because the reality is, colonialism was a big part of our history is a, it's, it's either it's had an impact into the way we function as, as societies today. but we also have to sort of create a new image, a new outlook on so many aspects of, of the way we do things. the whole idea was i was trying to find a bridge between you know, i guess traditional british tailoring and, and african fashioned. and traditional where and part of the reason i wanted to do that because that is part of my identity. it's part of my upbringing. i was actually born in the u. k, and i lived there for a couple of years. i was also, i also went back after high school to work there during my formative years and all

these experiences sort of build into who i am today. so this is one of our new new issues. we thought that we wanted to have something that was a bit subtle. no loved prince, but what we wanted to do was to me to make it a bit richer by adding embroider details. ah. but matthew will gone, but is not only known for his elegant and excellence and taylor, but also his bow tie phenomenon. the 1st house of tire products that we created were the titans golf and kinda discuss. and some of the reason i did that was purely because i had no experience as a fashion designer. and it made sense to start with smaller pieces accessories. i knew i eventually wanted to do full outfits,

but it made sense to start with accessories. i got into men's fashion primarily because hey man, it's, it's, it's easy for me. i started to create what i felt i didn't see. and i will, i always test items when we create a sample word for a couple of days to see where the issues are. i talk to our customers, i talk to even just family members. people who, who buy our products, trying to understand what issues they might have. question for me as a form of self expression. it is a way of telling, telling someone a budget of the might be your lifestyle. it might be the way you work and might be your preferences. it might be, it's a form of identity. i feel that even people who claim not to be interested in fashion make particular choices based on on so many things that tell

a story about their life. there is no doubt that matthews, reputation as a top one and fashion icon is one that has been hard earned and well deserved. his effortless sense of style aside, he is dedicated to building up the fashion community. he works with local artisans and tailors and provides his team of 21, a stable income, employment opportunities. we have to be. and i have to be very intentional about the impact on our society and our community. we really endeavor to look at the whole ecosystem of, of, of the way we work and, and who they, what goes in to the shirts. you see here, and there are so many parts and i and they, we have to, as a team, we try to, to be quite conscious about that. so it's really about innovation and it's about investing in innovation. it has to be part of our, our business model,

to look at new ways of doing things. matthews unique designs showcase africa fashion and sophistication with a refreshing modern twist. because use of locally made materials and accessories tell the story of his personal goal to take who want and fashion to the world. i'm here where modern farm living is attracting many families to sit on their home . with me today is gillian hole from south architect who will be taking me through this wonderful masterpiece of a house. it's great and dark house. now the 1st thing i noticed as i walked in is the view. when you're into is incredible geese. we are incredibly privilege to have designed in this amazing space. it has a view of the north space conservancy mountains which are absolutely gorgeous. we

try and integrate buildings as much as possible with a natural landscape. in this particular house we created ruth gordon. so we took the landscape that we actually disrupted, and we put it on top of the half. and we introduced indigenous landscape through act because it attracts all the booth and the natural food, not in florida in environment. the orientation of the house plays a very big role so orientated, correct to the north, just off north for how thing is important. it's such a simple principle, but it makes a very big difference in the energy efficiency of your building. we've got a system in the house, it's integrated that catches all the water and goes to a central underground water tank. and from the it's pumped into all the water systems in the ha and circulated. now before we move on to the art and design of this chunk home, we check in with top 10 that she dora,

who move seamlessly between full and digital photography as a photographer. as a visual artist, i have the responsibility to bring in a stick around black people to be able to bring in accuracy to the story, to being the beauty that comes out from being black, contemporary african photography through the lens of them. bob, when born south, african based photographer cuts in the chin, dora is a visual exploration of what it means to be african and black. today, sometime a fashion photographer, fine art photographer, commercial photographer. but i'm a visual storyteller. i love telling stories through photograph, we paint through light, and that's what basically the photography is. i'm through the lens collective. i'm going to be developing some film today for that. i did a few weeks ago. oh,

my black give back. that's like the was say days and magnification that i place on like skin does an individual these days a glorification. there's a celebration, and there's a beauty that i'm trying to translate with with the, with, with black skin and black subjects and also translating other stories of identity. and often in criticized of having a set of selection of subjects, it's able to black with a person with others. especially when it comes to my conceptual work in a false paste world deadlines, more to digital, to tend to works. mamie with digital photography that installed your timelessness of phone photography still makes it an attractive medium. appearance.

fixer, the fixer fixes the image onto the phone so that it doesn't rub off to become permanent onto the phone. my preference is always phone. there is a beauty also that comes with great i always say to people that digital to trying to match phone. you have film grades that people put over digital images. so there's to something that is authentic and role when it comes to film photography. and from a creative perspective, it's much longer process, but i feel like the film allows you as an individual to think through the process. you have 36 or 12 live in a roll of film, so it constricts you from from wasting. so that allows you as an individual,

to be able to be more a ticket to be more concentrated, to be more focus. whereas with digital, it's instant, it's immediate and you shoot and look with this till you see it. and then on form is i will only see it after it comes from the lab. when you see it, after i processed it, take a form photography carried out on a traditional handprint as something to tend to appreciate. though he can develop for himself, he requires the services of dennis over the only remaining high photo printer in the country. the longevity of images printed on phone paper is much, much longer than digital the printed prince. so there's always a beauty in having a handprint because it was carefully, carefully done this as a beautiful attached to it and having it as a handprint. as much much young guy used to cut out images

from my mother's magazines. i always used to lie that day before, like a school project in collage and put them in, in scrapbooks. so from there i, i did build a subliminal a visual library and i've always had an interest in in photographs. and then when i had the privilege of going to university, i went and i studied photography. the difference between commercial work and conceptual work is commercial work is always there to feed a certain market. today we are into we're doing she to look fit for south african street. we have brand, we had an open field and they took a ground to beautiful texas as our products. and yeah, and i have so much fun. so we creating to

learn in a certain type of people sit in viewership, serving a certain market. so everything is always controlled and then conceptual work, which is mostly my style of photography, especially in my, in my, in my personal work. so they, it's thoughts, ideas, experiences, expression, staging all of that up and recreating it and translating it in the way that i would have perceived it as, as a photographer. the special thing about this generation of african photographers is we have the ability to express ourselves there is free don. i think the ward is also listening to our stories. they are now

keen are such as to hear the new narrative of, of art. now we have an opportunity to be able to control our stick to be able to control our story, to also be able to control our narrative as black people. ah, ah, now gillian, i know that with this house you have to accommodate 2 living areas as the 2 sisters sharing this house, which makes us quite unique and different. tell me a bit more about that. so these are the internal community area where they entertain and get together. and then these, the more private units on the sides. actually while we were building, they picked up some stones on the site and we created this beautiful artwork. that was a custom made design that shows and signifies the convergence of the 2 sisters coming

together. it was commissioned and done by a local african ought to be 8th. and i feel nice, it's so these actually lots epic, not the watch courtside no way. and it's a reflection of the river actually. and the landscape that was incorporated in the for me, this is courtyard and which kitchen doesn't need an outside garden area. you. so you have fresh produce with then you got days which you then can incorporate in your dishes. you've got herbs on top. and then you've got this lovely area pergola area which once it's overgrown, you know, you can just relax here in the courtyard. okay. in the space, you know, it will take ro until it creates shades ye. oh, that's beautiful. thank you, jillian, for showing us this master piece of the house you've created. it's been such
