Stylish Africans (or the Sartorialist goes to Johannesburg). They don’t ape American or European styles, it is not an H&M culture of watered down runway fashion. They take the cast-offs and hand-me-downs from the US and Europe, things we donate to charity and make them their own. It is not so much altering the garments or tailoring them, just wearing them in ways Westerners would never think of. And looking good, stylish, proud. Cool.
Lovely warm afternoon sun.
Long walks through the lonely, wealthy and white suburban neighborhoods. Electric fence and “armed response” fortresses. An army of black security guards protecting the white folk from their poor black brothers and sisters. Odd.
Japan wins.
Shopping mall culture. Sinister motives.
