GQ Style Diary: Anthony Bila
I was recently contacted by GQ South Africa who’ve been running a style diary of various South African men. The commission from GQ South Africa was simple; take a photo of what you’re wearing on that day and tell us where you bought the items from. I’ve never really been one for stepping up from behind the camera but I reluctantly decided to do this. I had fun documenting my outfits for the next two weeks. View Article

Houses of Oranjezicht.
Last year I moved out of home for the first time. I was lucky enough to land in the beautiful suburb of Oranjezicht - which is the perfect combination of the leafy suburb life i was used to and the cool towny life i was looking for. But one of my favourite parts of living in Oranjezicht is the beautiful homes that can be found on every block. I took a stroll around the neighbourhood and captured my favourite facades, gates and gables. View Article

Campus Style // UCT
I love university campuses! I attended a relatively small advertising school, so big campuses always spark my imagination in a way that is untainted by actually ever having to sit in a lecture hall with thousands of other students. So you can imagine my excitement when i found myself on UCT upper campus on OPEN DAY! Not only did i get to pretend to be a potential archaeology student while browsing the science hall, but I also got to spot some really great campus style. Check these kids out! View Article
