It’s finally here! The behind the scenes from Day 1 of our play date with @schwarzkopfproza for a campaign we worked on together on last year 💚. Spot any of your favourite looks? We want to hear all about it in the comments 🥰.

Coming soon to a REEL near you 😂❤️‍🔥. The music selection for this video seemed too good to pass on - fashion but make it a trailer. A little behind the scenes of a project I co-produced and directed with @sech.fyi ⛅️. We had a banger team on this one! ✨Hair by @gigi.hairdid 🤍model @gaiafernandz ✨photography by @sech.fyi 🤍Mua and styling by myself

Rn content is so overwhelming, it’s happening all the time. Everything is so clean, smooth and edited. This season of my life, I’m trying to be open to playing more and just doing the thing I want to do - without it needed to be good or great or even polished. I love doing get ready with me videos but I don’t do them because I get so in my head about them being good or that there are others that do it better. I am a phenomenal and very talented artist (god. This feels good to confess) but I am very human 🖤. I no longer seek to be accepted by what others think of me- all I want to do is create beautiful art with beautiful clients, friends and artists. A life of art and love, all thanks to you here who support me 🖤. Enjoy this bts video of a look I did yesterday x

STYLING || CREATIVE DIRECTION I did for @dossiermagazinesa for the spread on @purushairstudio ft @stmntgrooming ✨ TEAM: Hairstylists @gigi.hairdid @hairystyles_za Makeup & grooming @amajali_avumile_makeupartistry @jaliavumile Photography @sjvanzyl Model @kyle_matt_va at @bossmodelsjhb

Inspired by @voguescandinavia #aw2025 beauty, I recreated my version of the @versace #BlackBerry lip, a mix of moody and romantic ❤️‍🔥. If you know me then you’ll know the #romanticgoth makeup style is my current obsession. Thank you @raquel_.coelho for being the hottest woman alive and @hairystyles_za for being an absolute master with her hair.

Today I’m thinking back on this collab I worked on with @buhduhbuhduh 💎✨. I’ve been so blessed by the universe to work with incredible artists and just overall rad people ✨. Mua @nelladuarte_makeup (me duh) Hair by @gigi.hairdid 💎 (This is BTS but the concept was shot by @i_try_take_ok_photos )

In case you didn’t know, I am also a Junior creative director, Production manager and Stylist✨ & Oh man oh man oh man , have I been excited to share this body of work with you to showcase that💗. This is my second production that I got to be producer on and it challenged me in ways I didn’t know I had the strength to overcome but from this I grew beyond what I could have imagined. I am so incredibly proud of this collection and I cannot wait to share more of it with you. As always I couldn’t have done this on my own, it takes a team to bring a dream to life ❤️‍🔥 Special thanks to my right hand man, my best friend and absolute phenomenal artist @jaliavumile - every time I fell to my knees with uncertainty within myself, you were there to lift me up. You gave me strength but most of all you gave me courage. To the best team I could have asked for ❤️‍🔥here’s to you! You all put in so much hard work to bring this together ✨. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️‍🔥 @purushairstudio ‘Vela’.
