Chelsea Blakemore- Beatenberg

Beatenberg is the most loveable band in Cape Town composed of Ross Dorkin, Matthew Field and Robin Brink. Today, we-are-awesome released the video for their new single Chelsea Blakemore and it does not disappoint. The song's been doing well already but this video should make it. It screams Kope/Figgins in the best possible way, making the boys look slick as fuck. 

Here are our favourite moments of the video

The initial awkward dance moves

Rob being sensual

Ross being distressed about mowing the lawn at night

There are

no

words!

When the dancing gets less awkward and more crazy

When we get up close and personal with Matt's armpit (and mole) in the background

Whatever this is, it's great.

And the final act of LOVE.

Here is the actual video. You'll love it

Meet The Sartists

Str.Crd this year had some amazing stands/displays and exhibitors, but what caught everyone's eye and really got our blood racing with excitement were two young men who call themselves The Sartists.

Meet Kabelo Kungwane and Wanda Lephoto.

These two young gentleman from Johannesburg have an insane eye for dressing and an understanding of fashion way beyond their years or experiences. 

Kabelo (above) is a journalism student and one of the quietest, most humble people I've ever experienced.

Wanda (above) is a fashion student and everything he says, writes and puts forward is POWER.

Their references are strong and brilliant- taking inspiration from their elders. South African politicians, gangsters, mechanics, fathers and slaves are all fodder for their well-crafted and documented looks. 

They interpret the fashion of generations past in a new way, carried forward in their own style- taking things seriously but always with a touch of fun. Their shoots are detailed and conceptualised down to the last tape-measure in Wanda's suit pocket or "car grease" on Kabelo's forehead.
