Theo Kgosinkwe is not only one half of Afro Pop group Mafikizolo, an award winning solo artist but he is also a Csquared man! 

We had a chat with the man about his personal style, #TOPSWAG and music…

C2: Tell us about how you feel when you on stage?  

 TN: I love being on stage,because there’s where I showcase my music,fashion and dance.

C2: What do you prefer to wear when performing vs when you having interviews?  

TN: When I perform I wanna look classy,I want people to see that I mean business I’m serious about what I’m doing,when I’m doing interviews I still wanna look good but not too serious,semi casual not too casual not too formal either.

C2: What are your thoughts about the ‘right fit’?  

TN: Yes I lot of people don’t know how important it is to choose the right fit for your body,I like clothes that fit me well,that’s why I also have a tailor to make sure that I have clothes that fits me well.

C2: What’s’ the one item you would never be caught dead in?  

TN: A jacket with shoulder pads

C2: Bowties or Ties?  

TN: I love them both,but if I had to choose one it has to be a slim tie

C2: When would you say you have the ‘SWAG’ look going on?

TN: When I attend important functions,I go all out with my CSquared outfit with confidence, thats TOPSWAG right there.

It has only been a few weeks since we crowned Mvelo Ncube the Csquared #TOPSWAG Style Icon Winner 2012 and it was at the glamorous  MTN SAMAs he made he red/yellow carpet debut. Dressed head to toe in Csquared, our stylish winner walked the yellow carpet with the celebs and enjoyed VIP access to the main event and after party. 

We asked Mvelo to tell us in his own words about his much anticipated debut:

Attending my first event on behalf of Csquared was a fun experience. More so when its the SAMA’s and they’re held at Sun City.

Anyone familiar with the resort knows that fun and great memories are just guaranteed alongside the monkeys you’ll find on your patio now and again.

The SAMA’s were amazing with everyone dressed to the 9’s, 10’s, 11’s and 12’s. My best dressed for the night were Pearl Thusi, Minnie Dlamini,  Zizo Beda and Khuli Roberts putting the quirky into fashion with a dress made out of cellphone memory cards.

I spotted music sensation Theo Kgosinkwe, looking good in his Csquared suit. It was like tinsel had made a 24 hour stop at the Super Bowl, the fashion was just that great.

The morning after the night before all that could cure the headache which served as a reminder from a great night of literally dancing with the stars was the famous ‘Sun City breakfast’ and litres of coffee and a few more hours by the poolside with friends and well a long island or three.

With luggage packed, memories collected and check out keys in hand, all roads lead back home to JHB having experienced my first SAMA’s dressed by Csquared, it couldn’t have been any better.

This past Monday Csquared joined hundreds of South Africans in celebrating our local artists at the 18th MTN South African Music Awards. What we love most about the SAMA’s is the fashion, which is the past has been interesting to say the least.

Whats also great about such an event is the interaction over social media. For those of us who were unable to attend the live event we sat in front of our TVs Monday night with our smartphones and you were instantly part of the conversation. @ASHownsCHEKA worded it best when he said:

For those of you who weren’t able to catch us live on Twitter Monday night or just want to relive the madness that was #SAMA18, we put together some of the tweets from the days leading to the event, the yellow carpet and the live show.

Pre-show Prep

Its no easy feat finding the right outfit for an awards show as big as the SAMA but Cape Town Street Mag Blogger @TankiEM knew when she needed a menswear look there was only one brand she could rely on:

As a Record of the Year nominee @theokgosinkwe was under pressure to look good. But Theo has always been a stylish dresser and definitely knows how to pull off a Csquared suit effortlessly. 

For his first official outing as Csquared #TOPSWAG Style Icon Winner Mvelo Ncube was invited to #SAMA18, which of course excited his supporters like @Tee_Kolane:

Of course @Mvelo_N was excited about the SAMAs but he was even more excited about his Csquared outfit which our designer Wayne Govender helped him style.

@Mvelo_N also tweeted a few pics from his arrival at Sun City but we won’t share all those yet, he will share his VIP experience with you later this week on the blog.

#SAMAFashion Buzz

Firstly, you can’t discuss the yellow carpet without discussing @somizi in David Tlale and Alexander McQueen heels.

We must admit we at Csquared always look forward to what Somizi will wear on any red/yellow carpet event because he always pushes fashion boundaries. He always stands out and while its not a look for everyone, we can’t help but applaud his fashion bravery.

As always the ladies took center stage on the yellow carpet but this year we must say some of the gents really did bring their fashion A-game to the yellow carpet. Naturally we love all those who wore Csquared on the carpet:

@iamDJSbu was stylin on night one of the SAMAS in this Csquared suit :

@TrevorMadondo in a Csquared Checked Jacket on Night One of the SAMAs:

@theokgosinkwe was a hit in this Csquared black and white look with red bow tie on the yellow carpet:

Jimmy Dludlu was on trend in a Csquared Velvet Jacked and Csquared Checked shirt and bowtie (congrats on the win):

Fashion Blogger @StyleGuideCT loved Jimmy’s look, while @Tee_Kolane knew on sight that it was Csquared:

What was really impressive about this years #SAMAFashion was how many of the guys out there went for color over plain black suits. These are some of our favorite looks from the evening:

While we did not address this trend in our What to wear to the SAMAs blogpost can we just repeat:

I think all gents are in agreement that if there is one thing they will remember about #SAMA18 it is @MinnieDlamini in this dress:

Well done to Randall Abrahams and all those involved on putting on a truly spectacular show. Till next year.
