I’ll be honest, Duro Olowu’s Capsule Collection for JCPenney is a little underwhelming, probably because my expectations for it were unrealistic. I mean its JCPenney. But there are few pieces that I adore and the vases and iPad cases are fab.

South Africans.   When presented with this information, Mr. Schuman responded:

“Really, they’re moaning? They’re mad? Why? Well, I would say that the people who do dress in that other way [in designer labels], they’ve just got to bring their game on.”

Its not what you wear, its how you wear it; and the South Africans featured on thesartorialist.com where beautifully stylish.
