THE STREETS ARE MY RUNWAY: HOK SPEAKS TO THUTO SEANE



Thuto Seane got spotlighted for her amazing fashion taste and style on HOK on The Streets Are My Runway section, which covers fashionistas that take pride in personal style and self-presentation. Above is a preview of her lookbook but you can click here to see the entire post.

The 20-year-old lover of life and fashion not only knows everything about fashion, but plans on taking it to the top with hopes of creating a fashion line. Already having helped style and dress models at Botswana Fashion Week 2011, we'll be seeing more of her soon. A quick fun fact about her is her cool personality that compliments her style, which you'll see from the interview below.

Hi Thuto. Could you tell us who is Thuto Seane?
Thuto is a 20-year-old student, daughter, friend, fashion lover, aspiring stylist, food lover, music lover, and lover of life. That’s me in a nut shell :).

When did you establish your personal style?
In high school.

How has your style changed?
I now know what I like, I know what I look good in. I try buy stuff that I'm comfortable in, and not stuff that I see people in, that doesn’t necessarily look good on me.

How would you describe your style?
I'm a vintage girl. I like vintage clothes and African print clothes.

What are your sources of inspiration?
People around me. If I see somebody wearing something I like, could be a random person, could be somebody on TV, that’s where I get my inspiration.

Who are your style icons?
I like Thandiswa Mazwai, Zolani Mahola from Freshlyground and Solange.

What is your favorite personal item (non-clothing/accessories)?
My laptop and my phone.

What is your favorite clothing article or accessory?
I have a small brown vintage bag that I got from my aunt. I love it.

At which establishments would you consider yourself a regular?
I shop at Mr. Price. I shop at the flea market. I shop everywhere :)! So I can't exactly say I'm a regular anywhere.

What will you be doing ten years from now?
I'm going to be a lawyer, hopefully a stylist too. And I'm hoping to have my own fashion line. Being a lawyer and being a fashion whatever – that’s what I'm about.

What is your current obsession?
I'm big on leapard print, African print designs and vintage stuff.

Currently inspired by?
The ankara look.

Currently annoyed with?
Girls who wear leggings as pants. That just puts me off! 

Any last words?
Doing this (The Streets Are My Runway) was so much fun! Thank you for the opportunity. See you soon….
