THE KING PROVIDES SOME SUMMER/SPRING FASHION TIPS.

In the past few weeks since the summer/spring season has began,the King of the ramp.Shadel Noble has been on the trend and this time around not on the ramp but through his styling summer dress code. In an exclusive interview we sat down with the King who gave us tips on what to wear this spring/summer season.

TR:What does summer/spring means to you?

SN:For me,Summer & Spring mean  a good time in the day time because you are able to express your self with clothing and show off the hard gym work during the winter,it’s a good time and high spirit and fashion time!

TR:This summer/spring what are you up to in terms of your modelling career?

SN:I will be working on more commercial gigs. 

Recently I had the opportunity of working with a boutique on their summer releases which was fun and totally different from the usual,so that’s another thing about the summer,it opens up new vibes and opportunities.

TR:You have been trending on social media with your summer wear. Can you tell us more about your style?

SN:In Regards to my style, it’s always been about being able to express myself before I have to say it in words and the summer time allows me to rock outfits that are me,that are fun & cool but also comfortable 

TR:In Southern Africa,Sunday formal wear has been our culture but due to this hot weather,do you think people should adapt to something ?

SN:Both culture wear and summer wear can be combined if you are confident enough and have the ability to do it right,for example,one could wear the zulu head gear (umqhele) with shorts too & shades or the sandals (imbhatata) with shorts & a tee,it would look different and nice & summer makes such possible & doable.

TR:Who is your fashion stylist Icon?

SN:I don’t have one in particular but my stylist Noey,is a great help in me trying different looks,patterns,styles,all that fashion fun & also places like pintrest,Instagram & Tumblr help me keep in the loop of different looks & styles.I strive to be an icon myself & not a follower so my stylist & I are in continuous work of that.

TR:What are some of the hot trends that you looking forward to see this season?

SN:I’ve been rocking a lot of the matching two piece outfits for most of my summers,which are vibrant but cool and they seem to trend more in Europe & America. 

I do hope I can inspire this trend,but more with an African vibe and a more fun twist to the vest and shorts swag cause a lot of people are starting to get interested.

TR:What are some of the don'ts in the summer fashion world that you not expecting to see this season ?

SN:DON’T WEAR WINTER IN SUMMER!! I see people trying to make up trends which look silly, like heavy clothing in the summer. Also wearing clothes that don’t compliment your body,build or character,that’s another DON’T people should take seriously trust me,the clothes can make you or break you very quickly so people should stay authentic to their true style & what really suits them.

TR:What is next for Shadel after this season?

SN:This season is only the beginning of fun summer fashion,what I & my stylist have in mind,trust me it will be worth the wait,Summer won’t be the same after.
