A Day with Danny Yirgou

About a month ago I did a photo shoot with Austin based photographer and multi media artist Danny Yirgou. It wasn't until recently that I got a good look at the photos from the shoot but they turned out amazing! He uses a hand full of film cameras to capture the images and they've all turned out super dreamy with beautiful vibrant colors. You can see more of the photos from the shoot HERE as well as his other work.

MIMI's Hot 21: Anisa Mpungwe: The Closet Bad Ass (No. 006)

Written By: MIM!—Don’t let her youth fool you: Anisa Mpungwe (pictured above, center) is a powerhouse designer for a new generation. It's only à propos that she's The Closet Bad Ass of MIMI's Hot 21. Here's her latest collection from her label (Loin Cloth And Ashes) that was showcased at Johannesburg Fashion Week 2011.

Xiao Wen Ju - so, so cute all bundled up against in the cold in her anorak and fur hat. Xiao is from China but her English is excellent.....I was waiting to take her photograph while she was being interviewed (about her fav beauty products, music etc) and she was as sweet as she looks!

I know it's a bit blurry but sometimes the emotion/moment is more important than how sharp the photo is.
Sometimes ;)

Her Daddy said she picked out everything she was wearing....she also proudly showed me her little collection of business cards she had been given at Somerset House. Starting early, huh?!

Written By: MIM!—Drawing inspiration from its rich heritage, VLISCO's Nouvelle Histoire collection is a modern-day update of VLISCO's iconic designs. Take a look below at some of the gorgeous fabrics from the collection.

I am wearing another jacket I found on Ebay. Since I haven't found a jacket in this years collection I am crazy about, I grab back to the old collections. Another great thing is they are often below retail. I am now busy doing another DIY and it starts to turn out really nice!

New Video: Spoek Mathambo "Control"

Written By: MIM!—Control, the fourth video from Spoek Mathambo's debut album Mshini Wam, is a darkwave township house cover of the Joy Division classic She's Lost Control. For the music video, Spoek collaborated with one of South Africa's most celebrated photographers, Pieter Hugo and cinematographer Michael Cleary. It explores the world of township cults, street preaches and teen gangs and was shot on location in a squatted train boarding house in Langa, Cape Town. The cast is mainly made up of the neighborhood kids who run their own dance troop, Happy Feet. Check it out.
