Gold Coast Trading has always been a source of inspiration for me. Known for fusing traditional african prints with clean western lines, this fresh brand preserves our African culture in an innovative and ever dope style. Gold Coast has been featured in Vogue and countless other influential magazines worldwide, yet the impact the line makes hits closer to home. South Africa to be exact.

The collection consists of a “mzuzu” traditional print organic cardigan and a prima cotten tee.To find out more about this dynamic designer and his collection…

Read the rest of RhaRha’s Interview with Emeka over over at GIANT magazine.

I want this shirt!

First of all, didn’t know that Nando’s had restaurants. Been using their Peri-Peri sauce for awhile. Good to know. Second, is anyone else going to this year’s Afro-punk festival? Reggie will be there.
