To say I love South Africa is an understatement. The country is brazenly beautiful to the point of leaving one speechless. What intrigues me is the young creatives coming out of South Africa enjoying success through their incredible art, design and fashion. thabo_kopele is not someone I had even heard of but fortunately came across in Design Indaba. His aesthetic, so simple, yet as brazenly beautiful as the country he lives and works in. Fantastic!
