Gracing the pages of a previous issue of Dazed, the magazine took a trip down to South Africa where they met with a fashion collective known as the Smarteez. Comprised of four friends Kepi, Sibu. Floyd and Thabo, the group took them to several of the fabric shops they frequent as well as talk about their inspirations and backgrounds. Borne into a time outside of the difficulties of the South African apartheid, they carry a less political agenda but rather more focused on creativity.
