Found out yesterday that Siyabonga Ngwekazi aka ScoopMakhathini was launching his new label, Pieces by Pap, that he designed..
FOMO is not my friend, so I made missions to gatecrash the soiree at Arts on Main last night, and so very glad I did.
Pieces by Pap is a baby I think has been long overdue. Siya is incredibly stylish young man who has conversations with the world through his attire. This impresses me especially because I believe that 'expression is the key to our reality' and this multi-talented young man was due to share his style and expression with the world through fashion he creates.
Thomas Gumede, friend, comedian and co-star of reality show Forever Young, was the MC for the evening, and introduced his friend as only Thomas can, with humour and respect and awe-inspiring love that filled the room. His pride could not be missed.
Scoop then thanked us for being there and introduced us to 4 samples of his men's pieces. I apologise for not taking any picture of the items.
Fish Eagle was part sponsor of the evening, and I was pleasurably distracted by this Fish Eagle ginger cocktail that I just couldn't get enough of.
The evening was rather enjoyable, met some fantastic people, including the refreshing empress and iSangoma @Noksangoma, caught up with some other lovely people I hadn't seen in a while. Twas fun.
Here are the pictures I did manage to take.
