Kulcha Kwest - Episode 2 - Xhosa Man Regalia

Описание: Zano Sithetho is a 27 year old gentleman from Kempton Park with Mpondo genes from her mother and a Xhosa father.

He grew up in conservative church environment at Sutterheim in Eastern Cape where his father is a pastor. It is in through the family's customary style of dressing in the church that Zano got into suits.

Nowadays Zano is a suit designer and owner of SKORCH designs, a gentlemen's label which has received much praise in the fashion industry.

His Kulcha Kwest:
Zano's quest is about learning and understanding the Xhosa gentleman through its different stages, classes and clans.

Having studied fashion and growing up in modern comforts, he is assured that he knows what makes the modern gentleman but Zano yearns to know the cultural gentlemen in his Mpondo and Xhosa roots that his Christian family can not inform him of.

As a suit designer, he would like to incorporate his findings and newfound inspiration to his upcoming winter collection which he plans to showcase a proudly South African gentlemen's fashion.

Zano believes that at the end of his Kulcha Kwest journey, he will know theXhosa regalia in all its formsand understand the significance of the different colours and texture of the different clothing items.

He will be equipped with the knowledge and experience on how to use the different items and infuse them into modern trends; this will expand his creativity as a designer and help him embrace his Xhosa culture.
