to huge funding, we have you as a one does not delete this whole port of people discard via included in the on the vehicle. despite this process and unexpected size of life enjoyed sun, i'm bringing you up for maximum, a space that i'm very familiar with. best audio school sessions, annual cash, and show and it is a buzz as the models are getting ready to start this stuff is electric as last minute changes are happening in the background. and it is a big day for the students as they are preparing to take on the real world. it is from the organized chaos big space and we bring you today's show. who would have thought the density troops and funeral make? and gun one man has and has cause a global station and has changed the sad events into celebration of life. tang is well known intel in production design. and david or us shows us

a right narrow b and the working griggs. we joined nigerian design as know look like as they show us a unique approach to fashion. i am sure. deposit must be the end. you are watching after max the every year i most prestigious question design schools in south africa showcase. can use talent from this have of young crates of a t we bring you a young voice and his take on odds blending fine art and illustration. i've been making lots and so it's 5 years old. it's been a big part of my life. i don't think i would know why and without it. so, art is me and i am ours is like me to send for me.

when i'm set from installed on a k i for can ginger. i'm a contemporary artist painter design. uh, illustrate a multi disciplinary audit, well known for trading of almost 10 african new expression is the cart style. combining painting and st are the ones that i grew up in a household where my grand was domestically abused and i witnessed that a lot as a kid because i was around here all the time. so for me, that was a very traumatic experience and drain up as a guy understanding that it's, it's a vicious cycle of on chip mental health leading to a violent approach. that's just the cycle. and i think knowing is half the battle, and i want it to be completely aware of, you know, what genovese funds is and what it's really doing, what, what causes that,

you know, she possibly because of that. i buried, you know, and that's what made me such an angry teenager. and that's what made me so really like rebellious, like breaking stuff and she's angry at the world, you know, and the old i got, the more i realize that i'm feeling upset because of my own mental health. plus my own childhood trauma is what made me vocalize or be aware of my problem is in pain was making art peeling is painful. it's not the easiest thing. and the only way to be better is to sit with those doc source that you don't want to have in pro system. and by doing that, you actually become better and better as time progresses. so yeah, the only thing that made me become conscious of that was making art was like, why is my work so doc and we do a star analysis of myself and then digging deep and being like, oh, this was the reason that so doc is because this was this is what influenced this

approach. okay, cool. why did i influence this approach? while that happened to me when i was 6. okay, cool. makes sense. the, i don't necessarily think that artists have to make stuff in a bad head space in order for it to be good. i think society is just kind of made this narrative of like the priest, drug addict, of oddest archetype. you know what i mean? and that's not to choose any way you can make arts from any kind of stimuli for a long time. i thought that the only way i make it work is if i'm like in that head space, but not as times progressing. i'm just like, there's so much more to be so much dimension in making work in a bit of head space. amazing at the price of the making light as a body. so can you motion with his hate or love whatever. if someone feels something towards that even frustration, he did something you made on the web. the hallmark house hotels checking out some

work that i did a couple of years ago. i was commissioned to do a bunch of portraits. some graffiti is pretty much design the whole 1st floor. it's not like one of my personal projects where i can really focus on emotion or focus on dr. themes. this is a commission. so i have to focus on the janice, but use culture and what that means to me and painted in an a static way, as opposed to, you know, being rough with the brush strokes and emotive. so the difference between this and the camera stuff is all about 2 different themes. one is statics and the other is the motion. so we're about to answer the kalashnikov. got ready to check out some of my works and speak to insights up in the gallery manager. i think good is good to me back. you know, that's what i'm specifically for the show. exactly. and in my opinion is the best

on. thank you. it's the one i really enjoyed making the one going. skype though, is the one that it keeps on because we have faced and brought from time, which is effectively one of the creative melting pot, some johannesburg, oddest alexis would naturally gravitate towards prom because of the scene. he would just come to the shows. we didn't even know he was his associate and part of coming to to look at ok and um, later on you just become closer and closer and then um and so to some of the be, uh there was some name porsha. yeah. one day we thought he was actually in are good enough to be in the gallery, and then the rest is effectively history. nice. one of the ox done the young, emerging artists a focal point in a lot of the works is r, as in the past that was very and type painting eyes. i think it revealed too much

emotion, too much kept in each portrait. but i think this time around i wanted to use i as, as a vehicle to convey how i was feeling. a lot of these are post, you know, heartbreak, you know, it's, it's, it's a conversation about how i and how people are on this deal with our feelings and being aware of our feelings and making something about that. these are more extensions on my solo shows that i did a in february this year cold. why so blue, brown, boy, that collection was goodness and she the bus of this conversation of body motions, vulnerability, masculinity. i'm wanting to speak about societal norms and societal conversations that gaines, man, and means mental health and prove and show that they all ways for man to deal with emotions in a natural and healthy way as opposed to substance abuse involve. and we can express

ourselves through conversation and round ability. so these are extensions of my own most valuable solve for the most intimate parts of myself being displayed, exhibited the i have the privilege to be back stage of the annual showcase will start you school of fashion posted this here at the middle of africa, which i think is quite appropriate. i'm sitting here with shepherd who is one of the young designers that will be chatting. see shepherd, how of, in the i have them, but at the same time i'm a bit excited to finally be and i'm grateful for the j and a bit of that. and this be legal saying this is me. it was fun anyhow. so all of this is what is 5 the connection, the beginning, see tonight the main drive of the connection was come forth through my august. so the sort of side to lift this bit. yes. what supports did you have in

creating this collection? family and the institution a to use it on and also like this skills develop through the as of studying the study you made a huge role in me. being able to sort of princes is kind of like an interest level . and you have custom in me because you had me at functionality and comes to visit you so much. it means a lot before i check some more young design and let's check on kenya, we're a production of interior design is changing his environment for the data. my name is david, are you, i'm a production and special design, a welcome to a day in my log. the my dummy has been begun to look over 10 years ago. made me inspired by movies and stuff that we watch on tv.

really, my collaboration with book funk has been in the how people are religious pieces and how to curious spaces to to be a news for people the where they are comfortable with the comfortable to read. they're comfortable to spend the time in the comfortable to engage in different activities. i mean, libraries have so much before being used for just the reading and studying and doing research. but now in police like it's like library. well, it's on color. you can come and enjoy ok here from different parts is to have suitcases here. you can come and have a picnic here and we are currently in a clue for i can do this is something like of veranda didn't exist. 3. the

restoration of this building on the floor we are standing on exist a map of narrow b. that's represents the difference in libraries for them to sit. so inspired in this space up was the hottest and the different spots. many spots of different owners, fixed existing ways to con, contact the most part of the trend in design. i mean this is where we're coming back to the model alignment. this is not like the cradle of mine kinds as well because we have life to get so i feel that we are coming back home and not only

design wise, but i didn't fill out so many of the fields of life. so here we yeah, again that's one of the spaces that i've worked on initially for all kinds of brief . it was, uh, may be a space like you just enjoy enough in friends and to pain, but also police to just kind of last all through the book. enjoy a drink turned out that it's now a space, use this for sure that she should qualify. and so let's see what does her show here, but it's also a space she uses to, to, and into team guess be how, how the african aesthetic, inspire as creativity in, in the field of that i am in,

i would say just the use of materials. the richness of the cost to us, like we have so many different tribes and ways of life in africa, context or thought just mixed in this beautiful ports of design and a way of life for really has inspired by john me present for the future in my car yeah i, i wanted to so much i, i, i believe i haven't done my best walk. really. i think go, i've loved this breath inside of me. i'm far from, from even suppressing this off is of my best to walk into the future for me to just multiple number of people walk. i'd love to collaborate with, as i love to put a blue interior design as a special designer,

hollywood guy to come and, and really just be involved in i've called the functional spaces in terms of the library offices. and just to really be sensitive to how people interact with spaces tonight, the lights of shining bright from the young, creative talents of finals, such as are being done before the runway showcasing the tenants. yes, the audio location run by you had a see a idea in your mind of what you wanted to showcase here tonight. what is the difficulty of translating that? what is in your head exactly, onto the model. sometimes the comments and speech as well as you want them to v o a how you have the junior and so that is a very depressing moment. does

a desire to find out that it's not sitting where you wanted or how you wanted to fit. yeah, and i could imagine what that feels like, cuz because as someone has been a model before, sometimes you guys get frustrated and you just want it to be perfect. so how does it all come together for you? cuz we have to have a big stage. i think that's how i manage to cope with the workspace, because once you find out that something is not working, use true for been because we are helping you out. i think it's nikki. and i have to us how the name of the daughter is the creative concept behind it when what is the role of styling and all of it. so my concept is based around me with in my call, sending,

bracing my calls as well because it's something i think it's very difficult and not only for women, but for everyone growing up. so i tried to incorporate that a lot in my classes. so what i did was i used to quit the method, which is the closing method that we use to make blankets back back in india. and the loss of mind can impact me a lot this year. so i know that you've been using. and if you know anything about me, you know how much i love bringing back my culture. and also just ping home is the people that came before us when he from so excited to see a connection to mines and all the very best the the show is about to start. and it only seems appropriate to bring in a profession voice from nigeria as the attorney, one west and fashion is all about on his head. to wear a storytelling business,

we use fashion to affect the mind body and the soul of the individual and collective in lake god. more and more young fashion designers are revolving, and they are designed. lesser about western influence is in style, but a more effort centric contemporary and experimental the do of know the black ariella and the fact that your local, real quick, our sisters, who believe that fashion is storytelling. but that's it. sites in our global realities and home life as nigerian globally. why do you think about fashion? i don't even think about design as these guys fixing. i mean they're, you know, they're school of both by my side. so for africa and fashion that should also be valid. where if your design aesthetic is what's my says without your edgy like, and all that black or, you know, communicate seen all of those influences in any of our we. so here is where to production, the real logic because i'll pass on here with a couple of pieces together here. here is where all the experimentation i'm present

typing your be cary and about half of these are usually the patterns that we're working with currently like this for you. so the on roundly memories dress. this is popular for this, this is a p if i need dual pattern until it is done efficiently, cannot leave this room. so this should be like a full number of processors go on here. this is sunday and he's a sample of machine list. he's working on the top right now is also from this collection. so his strange connection and this is one of the t shirts with their collection hayes, stranger known the black introduces rich colors and echoes of the your but culture where a super i inspired by um do you are by coulter where both your boss and of course like every other thing that we experience as well as far as just being global citizens in general or having just these progressive also from things on

progressive perspective. every single collection we make that will be the one single piece or 2 pieces that you can draw a straight line directly from a heritage oil, coal, to a, b, e. it's, you know, a, you know, rough r s, filled with, or you know, the, i'm glad i seen with like the classics. like what i've seen with a lot of domains less of the dean. you know, you're above super, they like to look super fun boy and i think like, so these colors from this collection, very room in the sense of you are back closer and i feel like the stories are very rare event because when you piece through each one you see that it's dice use this through what we as young people and it wasn't on young people i experiencing through the times with that. it's so hey, strange which is about $72.00 down. we can all convene on that same with the scene on that, which is about humans and exploring how work full of lee is showing how i've seen how those layers comfortably, many different ways. and you have a look wise, well,

which is about wiley, teeth of our life and death is about black and white. it's about, you know, all of that. so we kind of communicate. i feel like everything about know that black is extremely politic on we do have a lot of political choices as well. it takes passion and in depth knowledge of one's culture and surroundings. to be able to create pieces that are rare. yes, the label and constantly changing because, you know, we forth locally were in named jr. if you know anything about the supply chain of how african countries most, especially nigeria get their fabrics. we basically get the remnants from when the global markets, the global function markets are done. we states on, on why we kind of necessary me. it will be on trend. if you're a 9 year round brand, just forcing from the market unless you're making your own fabrics and so we don't adults in need of these while creasing off election. we go from a story perspective on everything, feeds the story, so to speak. nigerian fashion and styles are becoming distinct,

especially when they're adapting the rich cultural and traditional elements into the style. normal, black or proof that african fashions does not have to follow global fashion trends . but one can always adapt a new way of interpreting designs and fashion advice to take my place in the audience. and i'd like to wish all the talents the very best, and just have fun the, let's take a moment to unpack what seems like an unusual way to say good bye to a loved one. but it's actually really f for kids in the feet of whole bears. they've been joy to do so i'm grieving. yeah, 1000 moves. us. that kind of coughing have become a global association. the videos have gone viral online if i will, a thought to conveyed this is to the church or to the some of the, you know,

the family and well wishes on this one as they do cry. and i feel bad, you know, i, for that full of set of why do guy. so i thought it to, you know, life myself in bringing the times, initiating the dice story so that you know what she had them up. that was 15 years ago. one day, a do realize that a solemn mater full barris was making a ready, sad event even more sorrowful. so we established the metal tough. we didn't pull back and said it's with 1000 troops like these growing in popularity. from these i increasingly given the loved ones of final down the we have an album. oh so yeah. that's that the client is able to choose from when easy not problem is, is going to choose that he or she wants us to way for the location. and i think

this week the client in question has joined us quite this way. that is why that line joys there's there's quite this way because this cliff is where i've never been to waste before. so it's always nice to, you know, be, i think of them because it's going to be ethical to finalize. this enzyme is going to the voice with its, or says, becoming a global association. benjamin ag barely has time to sleep. he spends much of his time on the phone with clients checking this upcoming book into canyon from ross, very important social occasion. 10 and no expenses. great wages pro bear in service was also provided crucial employment opportunities for young people this, there wasn't any more. uh, guys to be employed within won't be voice,
