Brands to look out for in 2015

To all those who haven’t noticed yet, it is 2015. Which can only mean one thing: The Hustle continues. Last year I introduced you to my favourite brands and judging by what they did in the previous year, we can only expect the best from them this year. And so to kick off the year, with this two-part post, I thought I’d present to you the brands that we should look out for in 2015.

Last year we not only witnessed the following brands bring the heat but thanks to RHTC we also saw some new brands hit the scene, helping us leave the year with some interesting Christmas presents. However, if you are not clued up on the brands I am talking about, it is of course Soigné, Skinny Sbu Socks and Casio.

And so, in no particular order I’d like to present to you my favourite street brands which we should definitely look out for in 2015.

Getting the list started, representing the ladies is of course Belinda Phofu, who is the creative behind the SIIC accessory line ‘Style Is Incalculable’. Each piece she creates is as unique as she is. Belinda doesn’t sketch her designs, because she doesn’t allow herself to get too technical about them. Instead she allows herself to interpret her feelings through her pieces. She brings us one of a kind pieces which can complete and compliment any look and she has a piece for every kind of lady; whether you love your accessories to be bold or understated she has something for you.

Although we have Belinda doing it for the ladies, we also have a particular brand which has been around for some time now representing both males and females who may consider themselves to be Unique Iconz. I am of course talking about the UNICONZ. Having been around for some time now, we can safely say that they have gained some serious street cred.  They give us unique pieces throughout the year, which can be used to express ones individuality. What started out as an idea, then a movement has now become a brand which is one of the driving forces behind our street Culture. They are more than just clothing, instead they are a brand which challenges Social Norms. And with their interesting concepts, one can never predict what we can expect from them.

 

The UNICONZ have been around for some time now however they are not the only driving force behind our street Culture.  HAMBOGEZA which is founded by William and Qiniso, is a brand which is starting to make some serious waves on our streets. William believes that he has no competitors as he believes everyone should stay in their lane. And it is that thinking that can only make a brand go far. Teaming up with the Photographer Gondo to bring across his vision, can only be a match made in heaven; as together they come up with gripping concepts for their photo-shoots leaving us wanting more. Judging by last year and their current presence on our streets one can only wait in anticipation for what they can give us in 2015.

 

Although I have only mentioned a few brands in today’s post, there is definitely more to our street culture than the few I have mentioned. However, this is only the first part of the two-piece post, therefore, you will have to look out for the next post to find out more about which brands I believe will give us only the best in 2015.

Happy Shopping Guys
