South African fashions

Stoned Cherrie, Black Coffee, Sun Goddess - South African fashion labels aiming to make their mark on the world fashion stage. The distinctively African designs proved to be winners when they featured at a Spanish retailer's recent South African promotional month. Within an hour of the opening in Madrid's Paseo de la Castellana, only one skirt was left on the rails. T-shirts featuring the covers of Drum magazine also proved popular. Stoned Cherrie sold T-shirts displaying the image of activist Steve Biko. Nkhesani Nkosi, who started Stoned Cherrie, wants to build a global super-brand that is South African.
